Memory Cove

About Memory Cove

A pristine coastal paradise on Eyre Peninsula's southeastern tip, this wilderness area was proclaimed in 2004 after being identified as having some of South Australia's highest quality wilderness values. Named by Matthew Flinders in memory of crew lost to rough seas in 1802, the cove features crystal-clear waters and white sand beaches. Access is limited to 15 vehicles daily to preserve wilderness qualities. Rare wildlife includes Rosenberg's goanna, malleefowl, and reintroduced brush-tailed bettongs.
