Welcome

Welcome to the Ardrossan SA website, an initiative of the Ardrossan Progress Association. Whether you are a resident, a visitor or someone considering living in this great community, we hope that we can provide you with information and encourage you to take part in a wide range of activities.

Ardrossan is a thriving town on the east coast of the Yorke Peninsula, about 150 km from Adelaide, South Australia. Population is approximately 1,300, with a wide range of age groups, employment, community and sporting clubs. It is little wonder that the town is a holiday destination for many and special place in which to live for others. Situated on top of imposing red cliffs an easy 90 minute drive from Adelaide, Ardrossan is a thriving seaport and centre for agriculture. Spectacular scenery from a cliff top lookout, an abundance of blue swimmer crabs, great fishing, shipwrecks and an interesting history make this a great spot to while away relaxing days.

Walk the Yorke
Walk the Yorke

The CH Smith Trail which is part of ‘Walk the Yorke’ follows the clifftop from Tiddy Widdy Beach to Ardrossan, offering great views of Gulf St Vincent and plenty of birdlife. This easy 3km trail has many access points and is cycle and wheelchair friendly. This trail is definitely one of the heroes along the Walk the Yorke, offering spectacular views of the red cliffs along the coastline and is particularly special at sunrise. *

Foreshore

An easy 90 minute drive from Adelaide on the East coast of Yorke Peninsula, Ardrossan is situated on top of imposing red cliffs providing excellent views
                    of Gulf St Vincent. Wander down the jetty at sunrise to see the amazing display of colour the cliffs turning the morning light.

Crabbing

Raking off the beach is a popular past time at Tiddy Widdy. You can purchase rakes from the local Hardware store in Ardrossan or rent them from Ardrossan Seafood & Schnitzels. Remember to keep to your bag limit and leave the beach as you found it.
The crab guide from the Department of Primary Industries and Regions can be found here for some tips and tricks and to make sure you are keeping it legal.
