Port Rickaby
A quiet west-coast holiday village with a jetty, safe beach and a caravan park right on the foreshore.
Port Rickaby is a tiny holiday village on the western coast of Yorke Peninsula, in the old Hundred of Koolywurtie proclaimed in 1874. Once a small port shipping grain from the surrounding farms, it is now a peaceful seaside escape built around a foreshore caravan park, a jetty and a long, gently shelving beach. The shallow, sheltered water makes it a safe spot for families to swim and wade, while the jetty and nearby waters draw anglers chasing whiting, garfish and squid. Sunsets over Spencer Gulf are a nightly highlight. With little more than the caravan park and the beach, Port Rickaby is the kind of unhurried, off-the-radar coastal town that rewards visitors who simply want to slow down, fish and relax.
