Things to Do:

Smoky Bay's charm lies in its excellent swimming beaches suitable for all members of the family. Typical of many West Coast towns the fishing ranges from good to excellent. If you're unable to hook a fish on South Australia's West Coast then you'll never be likely to catch anything anywhere else! When fishing the waters of Smoky Bay the angler can expect to catch such local species as Whiting, Flathead, Snook and Garfish. Obviously the best fishing results are obtained from a fishing boat.
