Blue swimmer crabs
Blue swimmer crabs abound in the shallow water around Port Vincent. Only found at certain times of the year, they can be caught in crab nets from a boat or the wharf. If you're really keen, raking at low tide along either the front or back beach is almost guaranteed to get you a feed.
Port Vincent Motel and Apartments offers free use of crab nets and rakes for guests. If you are successful, we even supply a crab cooker!

A wide variety of birds, mammals, fish and birds are found in our local area. Kangaroos and emus can be found all over and are abundant in Dhilba-Guuranda innes National Park. You can often spot seals and dolphins frolicking off our beaches and nearby Edithburgh is the well known home of the unique Leafy Sea Dragon.

Whether you fish from the shore, the wharf or a boat, there is great fishing to be found in Port Vincent. King George whiting, Australian herring, calamari and garfish are some of the varieties regularly caught. If heading out in a boat, the Marina boat ramp allows for easy launching to offshore grounds.
