Wallaroo is known for its great beaches and crystal clear water. Office Beach is conveniently located next to Office Beach Caravan Park. North Beach is right next to the Wallaroo Holiday Park.

Wallaroo is one of the best places in South Australia from which to operate a boat. There is a secure 4 lane launch ramp within the marina breakwaters, so that boats can be retrieved.

The pleasures of cruising Spencer Gulf by private boat are well known to those who have been lucky enough to experience them, and there are a number of enthusiasts based in Wallaroo.

Wallaroo is a haven for many sea creatures. Dolphins and seals are often sighted in the Bay. There have even be whale sightings around Point Riley. The Wallaroo Jetty is also popular for divers with many types of sea life to discover and explore.

Wallaroo is well known for its excellent fishing. The much sought after King George Whiting are frequently caught here, particularly in winter. There are also yellowfin whiting, garfish, salmon, tommy ruffs, snook, flathead, mullet and more.

The Copper Cove Marina (known as the Wallaroo Marina) is almost one third the size of the original town. Housing development continues to grow. Situated in a prime location with the Coopers Alehouse, North Beach and shopping nearby.

Originally a Post Office (1865-1910), this historic building houses extensive displays of the copper smelting era which lasted from 1861 - 1923. The museum also features postal & telephone history, religious & civic affairs, industry, sport, entertainment, extensive nautical and general local history displays. Located in front of the Museum is the former 1877 Tiparra Reef Lighthouse.

What we refer to as "Sea Gulls" or the "common Gull", is more correctly known as the Silver Gull (Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae). They can be seen around the foreshore, the Marina, and the jetty.

If you have had enough of the high-energy activities for a while, a quiet walk may be in order. Wallaroo lends itself to walking, as it is not too big, and relatively flat.

There is so much to do in Wallaroo! Fishing, swimming, bike riding, windsurfing, sailing, walking, indoor sports, shopping, discovering our history or just relaxing with a glass of wine and some local seafood by the ocean. The choice is yours.
