Beach Two and a half kilometers to the north is the first of the Coles Point beaches. Beach 957 is a 400 m long west facing sand beach, backed by 20 m high bluffs, with a vehicle track leading to the southern bluffs. The beach receives waves averaging up to 1 m, which break across a reef and rock filled 50 m wide surf zone, with a permanent rip draining the surf. On the northern side of the rocks is 600 m long beach 958, a straight west facing beach which receives waves averaging 1 m. These maintain a 50 m wide bar which is usually cut by two beach rips, together with some rocks along the beach. The vehicle track runs along the 20 m high bluffs behind the beach, with no formal foot access. It is bordered by a protruding bluff at the northern end, on the northern side of which is 200 m long beach 959, a pocket of sand, backed by the bluffs and partially fronted by reefs. Bluffs and a rock platform separate it from beach 960, which lies of the southern side of Coles Point. The beach is 500 m long, faces south and curves round slightly under 20 m high bluffs. There are bluff top car parks at either end, with the best access down the steep southern bluff. Swimming While all these beaches receive relatively low waves, their difficult foot access and the presence of rocks and reef make them moderately hazardous. Use care in accessing and swimming on any of these beaches. Surfing Usually only a heavy shorebreak on the more exposed beaches during higher waves. Fishing There are many good rock fishing spots, but again access can be difficult and watch for larger waves. General Most people visit this section of the coast for the views from the many lookouts, with only a few keen fishers using some of the beaches. Reference: Beachsafe Website

Beach The main Farm beach (943) extends north for 2 km from a sandy inflection point with the southern beach, up to the northern boundary bluffs, next to the boat ramp area, with the shacks and houses located on the backing bedrock slopes. The beach is exposed to low refracted ocean swell, which average less than 0.5 m, with calm conditions also common. Apart from the access road and shacks there are no facilities at the beach. Swimming Farm Beach is the most accessible and popular location, while Gallipoli is the more scenic. All beaches are relatively safe under normal low wave to calm conditions, though access and rocks are a hazard on the northern beaches. Surfing Usually too small, with only shorebreaks in larger swell. Fishing Most fishers launch their boats at Farm Beach to head out to the deeper reefs. General An accessible, relatively low energy section of coast, mainly frequented by boat fishers. Reference: Beach Safe Website

City/town information

Mount Dutton Bay is a coastal locality in the Eyre and Western region of South Australia, situated in the District Council of Lower Eyre Peninsula. The name and boundaries were formalised in October 2003 in respect of the long established local name which is derived from the body of water known as Mount Dutton Bay. The locality incorporates three older residential "shack sites": Mount Dutton Bay West, on Dolphin Drive, Mount Dutton Bay East, on Woolshed Drive, and Shelley Beach/Salt Creek, on Shelly Beach Road. It is part of the cadastral Hundred of Lake Wangary. The historic Mount Dutton Bay Woolshed and Mount Dutton Bay Jetty are listed on the South Australian Heritage Register. The woolshed and jetty were built by Eyre Peninsula pastoral pioneer Price Maurice to shear wool from his pastoral leases and transport it to markets; the jetty, the latter of the two, dates from 1881. The site was used as a hub for the wool industry until the 1950s; it has continued as a base for leisure activities thereafter. The woolshed and adjacent shearers' quarters now house tourist accommodation, a museum, cafe and gallery; a caravan park has also been built alongside. The Mount Dutton Bay Conservation Park is located on islands in Mount Dutton Bay and other adjoining bodies of water. The Aboriginal Barngarla name for "Mount Dutton" is Miranda.
