On South Australia’s rugged Eyre Peninsula lies Baird Bay, a quiet coastal fishing village where time slows and nature takes centre stage.
Here, the wild beauty of the land and sea leaves a lasting mark. Days begin with salt air and ocean views, and end with vivid sunsets and the sound of water lapping the shore. Between, you’ll find space to reconnect with nature, with others, and with yourself.
From October to April, the bay comes alive with the chance to swim alongside wild sea lions and dolphins in their natural habitat, a rare and humbling encounter. And year-round, the self-contained Seaside Villas offer a peaceful place to unwind, with all the comforts of home and the freedom to explore at your own pace.
You may eventually leave Baird Bay, but it will never leave you.
