Port Vincent Kiosk | 20 Marine Prd, Port Vincent SA | 2019 site

Only a short walk from the Port Vincent Motel and Apartments and enjoying the very rare privilege of being located right over the beach (and sometimes the water!), Port Vincent Kiosk is the ideal place to enjoy a tasty meal, snack or coffee, while taking in fantastic water views. 

Having long been an iconic location in Port Vincent, the Kiosk has rightly earned a reputation in recent times of serving up top quality eat-in and take-away food. Do-nuts are a particular favourite for those wanting a sweet fix, but a large range of hot food is available.

The Port Vincent Water tower is one of a growing number of towers, on Yorke Peninsula, to have had attractive murals painted on their drab concrete exterior. Representative of the areas past and present, Port Vincent's tower pays tribute to the first indigenous inhabitants, the ports history as a grain port, wildlife & todays recreational fishing.

Other Towers can be found at Stansbury, Edithburgh, Coobowie & Yorketown.

This hidden gem of a walk is situated on the Northern edge of Port Vincent and runs along a Gully few who visit Port Vincent will even realise exists. A must do for any energetic bodies visiting Port Vincent.

Easiest access from the town centre, to the trail, is by taking the boardwalk towards the Marina. The walk begins across the road immediately after the last dwelling on the left side and runs either to Lime Kiln road, in a loop to where it begins or onto the Walk the Yorkes trail. You can easily forget that you are just at the edge of town in this quiet, vegetation filled gully.

There are various paths available and Alan Powell trail can be done alone or incorporated as part of the Walk the Yorkes Trail.

Beginning and ending at Port Vincent is a drive of less than 100km in total but including a wide variety of sights & scenery.

• 5 beautiful Water Tower murals at Port Vincent, Stansbury, Coobowie, Edithburgh & Yorketown. The Coobowie mural is on a large tank so will need to be googled for directions, a google worth doing! A slight detour could take in Port Giles grain silos & Jetty.
   
• Wattle Point wind farm, where you have a rare opportunity to see huge Wind Turbines up close. The Troubridge scenic route passes through the wind farm.
   
• The Troubridge scenic drive turns to the coast after passing through the Turbines and runs run along the coast for about 5km's. Places to stop are aplenty as are photo ops along this scenic coast. Both the Troubridge island & Troubridge Point Lighthouses are visible along this drive, although binoculars or a good zoom camera are needed to appreciate the Island lighthouse. 
   
• At the other end of the scenic drive a choice needs to be made on whether you travel on to Port Moorowie and then back to Yorketown or take the shorter route to town. Both drives are through farmland and on either you will pass several salt lakes.
   
• Visit the Yorketown Bakery, well known for delicious Pies & Pasties. Head back towards Port Vincent and the Yorketown Watertower is situated by the roadside at the edge of town. 25 minutes later you will arrive back at Port Vincent Motel and Apartments.
   
• An alternative route back to Port Vincent from Yorketown is via Minlaton. Although 20 minutes longer it provides the opportunity to visit the Harry Butler Memorial and see the famous Red Devil, a WW1 plane. After a couple of quiet drinks at the Watsacowie brewery, it's back to Port Vincent.
