The Tumby Bay region in South Australia is known for its picturesque islands, each offering unique experiences and natural beauty. Tumby Island, located 500 meters east of the southern tip of Tumby Bay, is a conservation park covering 35 hectares. It is renowned for its diverse flora and fauna, including death adders, seabird species, and as a nesting place for the endangered eastern osprey.
The Sir Joseph Banks Group, a small archipelago further offshore, boasts stunning white sandy beaches and towering cliffs. Reevesby Island, part of one of South Australia's largest archipelagos, became a conservation park in 1974 and is home to the native greater stick-nest rat. This island is surrounded by clear blue waters, perfect for swimming. Langton Island, situated within the Sir Joseph Banks Group, offers another picturesque destination in the Tumby Bay region.
These islands provide a serene escape from the mainland, offering opportunities for nature observation, photography, and exploration amidst their unique ecosystems and natural wonders.
