Streaky Bay is an enticing mosaic of:<\/li><li> pristine natural wonders, <\/li><li>endless sandy beaches, <\/li><li>countless fishing spots, <\/li><li>spectacular coastline, <\/li><li>fine cafes,&nbsp; <\/li><li>pop-up food vans, <\/li><li>great markets, <\/li><li>warm and friendly locals and <\/li><li>a charming persona all its own.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Streaky Bay has more than 360km of the most spectacular coastline on the Great Australian Bight. It is a charming base for you to explore the coastline or hinterland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Streaky Bay is an important, small service centre for the region.  It&#8217;s on the edge of the only safe, deep water harbour between Port Lincoln and King George Sound in WA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the town has a casual, Mediterranean ambience its real attraction is that it is surrounded by some superb, coastal scenery. The beautiful Smooth Pool and huge white sand dunes on the Westall Way Scenic Drive will amaze visitors. The sea lions lazing in the sun on the rocks below Point Labatt are also a favourite tourist attraction. Another tourist magnet is the rugged cliffs and pristine, white beaches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All these unusual and natural wonders help to make Streaky Bay wonderful for holidaymakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The History of Streaky Bay<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Streaky Bay was first sighted in 1627 by the Dutchman Peter Nuyts from the ship Golden Zeepard. Be sure to visit the monument in the median strip of Bay Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two centuries later in 1802, <a href=\"http:\/\/monumentaustralia.org.au\/themes\/people\/exploration\/display\/51754-matthew-flinders\" target=\"_blank\">Captain Matthew Flinders<\/a> rediscovered and named Streaky Bay.  At this time he was examining the South Australian coast in the ship the Investigator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1839 Edward John Eyre established a camp area about 3km from Streaky Bay, known as \u2018Cooeyanna\u2019 (Eyre\u2019s Waterhole).&nbsp; He used the waterhole on his expedition to Point Bell and Albany, Western Australia, in 1840. Calpatanna Waterhole Conservation Park is nearby, 28km southeast of Streaky Bay with access off Flinders Highway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his travels, Eyre made contact with Aboriginal peoples in Far West.  Amongst these were the Wirungu, the traditional custodians of the land around Streaky Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How did Streaky Bay South Australia get it&#8217;s name?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Matthew Flinders explored the coast and named the bay because of the streaky discolouration he noticed in the water. It is likely the streaks were caused by the reflection of light and seaweed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-subtle-pale-blue-background-color has-background\"><tbody><tr><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/listing\/streaky-bay-airstrip-south-australia\/\">Nearest Airport<\/a><\/strong><\/td><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/listing\/attractions-in-streaky-bay\/\">Attractions<\/a><\/strong><\/td><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/listing\/dining-in-streaky-bay\/\">Dining<\/a><\/strong><\/td><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/listing\/accommodation-in-streaky-bay\/\">Accommodation<\/a><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1960,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","listing-category":[119],"list-tags":[],"location":[110],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v14.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Streaky Bay South Australia | Country Airstrips Australia<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Situated on the west coast of Eyre Peninsula, breathtaking Streaky Bay South Australia, welcomes visitors as one of the state&#039;s emerging tourist regio\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/listing\/streaky-bay-south-australia\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Streaky Bay South Australia | Country Airstrips Australia\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Situated on the west coast of Eyre Peninsula, breathtaking Streaky Bay South Australia, welcomes visitors as one of the state&#039;s emerging tourist regio\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/listing\/streaky-bay-south-australia\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Country Airstrips Australia\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-07-17T13:13:41+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/streakybaySA.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"657\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"267\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":[\"Person\",\"Organization\"],\"@id\":\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/#\/schema\/person\/80124d79dedf8684f066a78e14eada5a\",\"name\":\"admin\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/#personlogo\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/plugins\/userswp\/assets\/images\/no_profile.png\",\"caption\":\"admin\"},\"logo\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/#personlogo\"}},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/\",\"name\":\"Country Airstrips Australia\",\"description\":\"Airstrip, Accommodation, Food &amp;
