Southend
Southend is a small fishing village located on the southern side of Rivoli Bay. We are sheltered from summer’s south-easterly winds, making it the perfect place for a relaxing sea-side holiday.
Southend is also home to the Canunda National Park with it’s rugged coastline providing great scenic and photographic opportunities all year-round.
Our town boasts the second largest Crayfishing fleet in Southern S.A. Take a trip to the jetty or the jetty lookout to watch the boats steam home and unload their day’s catch (between October & May).
See below for a list of things to do in town.
