Coffin Bay sits snug amidst a breathtaking series of bays, channels and inlets, against backdrop of wildly beautiful Conservation parks.

Other rich local catches include crayfish, pilchards, shark, octopus, sea snails, sea urchins, scallops, abalone, King George Whiting and garfish.

Coffin Bay History
Matthew Flinders discovered the water-way in 1802, and named the area in honour of Sir Isaac Coffin, a botanist friend and financier of his expedition.

Whalers and seal hunters followed, looking for safe anchorage in the winter months, and later the abundance of fish and oysters triggered the development of "Oyster Town" on the Southern side of Kellidie Bay.

Today there are some 20 Oyster farmers working in the Coffin Bay area, producing approximately 12,000,000 oysters per year.
