Moonta Bay is a town on the Copper Coast along the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. Copper was mined in this area and the Moonta Mining Company attracted skilled miners from Cornwell. The world’s largest Cornish festival is celebrated biennially in Moonta, Wallaroo and Kadina - many of the bakers in this area make wonderful Cornish pasties. Moonta is only about six kilometres from Moonta Bay and has some beautiful old buildings and the Moonta Mines Museum - the Visitor Information Centre is located in the old Railway Station building.
Moonta Bay is a popular holiday destination with a large caravan park built on two tiers along the foreshore of the bay. The Moonta Bay Caravan Park is a member of Top Holiday Parks which is near the main jetty and walking distance to the local pub and restaurant. Splash Town (located adjacent to the caravan park) is a Council owned water park with free entry and lots of water activities for the children during school holidays.
The Jetty has a large car parking area (plenty of room to park when towing the caravan) - the Bayview Cafe and Seagate Restaurant have great views over the bay. The a long L-shaped jetty is a great spot for fishing and has an enclosed swimming area located alongside.
