Your guide to Stansbury
All About Stansbury
Stansbury is a small enchanting town situated on the Yorke Peninsula overlooking Gulf Saint Vincent. Once known as “Oyster Bay,” Stansbury held a reputation for having the best oysters in South Australia. Today, there are two oyster farms from where you can taste delicious, fresh-caught oysters. From October to March, the town’s shore hosts the buzzing, country-style Seaside Market with stalls offering local produce, art, clothing, jewellery, plants, toys, and much more.
The 308-metre-long Stansbury Jetty, just north of the Seaside Market towards the southern end of Oyster Bay, is a popular spot for catching blue crabs, squid, herring, and mullet during the summer months. Walk along the pier to enjoy the vast view of the bay. The remnants of Stansbury’s busy port-city past, including the Wool Bay Lime Kilns, the historic jetty, and the Old Post Office building, are scattered throughout the town. From its magnificent beaches to its newer attractions such as the vibrant Stansbury Water Tower, Stansbury’s unique sights are well worth a visit.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Stansbury
Stansbury typically experiences pleasant weather and moderate temperatures throughout the year. The temperatures from December through February are quite warm and inviting, making conditions ideal for fishing, swimming, and walking along the Stansbury Jetty. During the mild winter and spring seasons, native vegetation, including templetonias, native pigface, narrow-leaf bush-peas, and coastal beard-heaths, bloom and adorn the cliff-top walk with pops of vibrant colors. To catch the beloved Seaside Market, book your rental during autumn or spring. It rains sporadically throughout the year, so regardless of what time you visit, it’s a good idea to pack a rain jacket.

Lime Kiln Ruins at Wool Bay
Nestled along the scenic coastline of the Yorke Peninsula, you will see the Lime Kiln Ruins, a slice of history tucked in the seaside cliffs. The striking stone structures set against the deep blue and turquoise waters of Wool Bay makes this area more attractive than you might think. Six large kilns were built along the rugged cliffs between 1900 and 1910 to create quicklime, but today only one kiln remains.
The heritage-listed ruins hold significant historical importance to the region. Between 1900 and 1910, the Wool Bay Lime Kiln was used for burning lime, playing an important role in lime production, which was a significant industry on the Yorke Peninsula until the 1950s. Complete your visit to the ruins by exploring the sandy beach below.
Stansbury Coastal Trail
Take in Stansbury’s breathtaking scenic views with a walk along the foreshore. The seven-kilometre walk runs from the town jetty to Pitts Cutting. The trails provide walking, cycling, and wheelchair access to the coastal reserves. Lookout points punctuate the trail, which is separated into three parts. Every leg of the trail offers stunning views of Gulf Saint Vincent, the Adelaide Hills, and the Port Giles Jetty. There are also plenty of opportunities to encounter the prolific bird species and wildlife, including from dolphins swimming in the bay to black swans and beach pelicans wallowing in the shallow waters.
