Parking opposite the jetty at the traveller’s rest area will allow for you to stroll along the foreshore walking trail, where signage explains the native flora and fauna. This very flat area is also perfect for a bicycle ride. Visit the Rotunda Art Gallery with its display of local art and call into the Feral Fish Factory Gallery, where fish and other sea creatures are shaped from stainless steel. There is the skills centre, incorporating an olive press, where young people are trained in the olive industry, and several museums depicting the areas pioneering past. After your sightseeing, stop in at the Tumby Bakery for a delicious snack.
Tumby Bay has a great self-contained RV Park on Lipson Road on the northern entrance to town with a dump point. Sites are $10 per night with bookings to be made online. The caravan park, which has tourist information, is in Tumby Terrace and all your grocery and medical needs are catered for in the streets around the foreshore.
