Port Lincoln, the “Seafood Capital of Australia" on the shores of Boston Bay, Australia's largest natural harbour, is home to the tuna fleet and a flourishing tourist centre.
As well as serving top quality seafood in their restaurants, hotels in the Lincoln Harbour area are fitted with most or all modern facilities, with typical Australian hospitality, suitable for every pocket, and mostly located around the marina and on or close to the waterfront.
Top Things about Port Lincoln
Port Lincoln is home to Australia's largest commercial fishing fleet and aquaculture industry farming tuna, abalone and oysters.
It is the ideal jumping-off point for exploring the Eyre Peninsula's wildlife trails and complex, contrasting coastline. There is even the opportunity to cage-dive with great white sharks or swim and canoe among the sea lions and dolphins.
Port Lincoln provides top quality seafood restaurants such as King George Whiting and Southern Ocean Rock Lobster, serving seasonal favourites.
The sea sustains Port Lincoln and gives tremendous opportunities for visitors to this vibrant, beautifully located resort. Quite apart from the fishing industry, charter boats ply Boston Bay and the Eyre peninsular coast, visiting Boston Island and other spots. Surfing, big game fishing, swimming with dolphins and dives with shark cages can all be arranged as part of a holiday based here, in addition to driving the area and perhaps even venturing as far as the Nullarbor Plain to the north-west.
Port Lincoln Hotels
Port Lincoln accommodation is suitably located along or near the city waterfront, although some hotels indicated as Port Lincoln are over 40 kilometres away. Most hotels appear to be quite modern, ranging from modest to large, some set in semi-rural or coastal locations, usually offering good food and facilities for every kind of traveller, including families. Cheap hotels in Port Lincoln are handily placed to take advantage of the amenities offered by the area.
