Streaky Bay is a coastal town on the western
side of the Eyre Peninsula, in South Australia
just off the Flinders Highway 303 km north west
of Port Lincoln and 727 km by road from
Adelaide. At the 2011 census, Streaky Bay
recorded a population of 1,625.

The town of Streaky Bay is the major population
centre of the District Council of Streaky Bay,
and the centre of an agricultural district
farming cereal crops and sheep, as well as
having established fishing and tourism
industries.

Streaky Bay is a important, small service centre
on the edge of the only safe, deep water
harbour between Port Lincoln and King George
Sound in Western Australia. While the town has
a wonderfully casual, Mediterranean ambience
its real attraction is that it is surrounded by
some superb, unusual coastal scenery.
