STREAKY BAY BICYCLE TRACKS

Cycle, run or perhaps just take a leisurely stroll along the designated bicycle track, which meanders around the bay from Discovery Parks Foreshore to the boat ramp at Moores Landing. Take in the bay as it ‘glasses off’ almost every afternoon.

Why not try out the new Little Islands Coastal Trail a new Council developed track that runs 5 kms from Slidy’s Road along Little Islands Road to the Island Caravan Park.

Dogs are allowed on all trails controlled on a leash.

STREAKY SK8 PARK

Corner of Bay Road and Montgomerie Terrace, Streaky Bay.

Featuring some wicked transitions, the SK8 Park opened in 2005 and provides a great recreational facility for kids of all ages, as well as quite a few ‘young at heart’ adults. Suitable to use for skateboards, bikes, scooters and roller blades, knock yourself out (not literally) as you slide on into the world of skating culture. The park is designed for both beginner and intermediate users and features 1.8m walls, two fun boxes and a low grinding rail.

Parking is available with access from the Golf Club car park off Montgomerie Terrace.

STREAKY BAY JETTY & JETTY POOL

The 300m long iconic town jetty was constructed between 1891 and 1896 and is a reminder of the town’s importance as a port for both the transportation of wheat from the hinterland and fishing on the coast. The jetty is currently State Government owned and is classified as a ‘working jetty’.  Many small to medium fishing vessels moor at the jetty to unload for species such as shark and cray and to refuel.

The Jetty Pool began its life in 1936; shortly after the Streaky Bay Sailing Club joined with the Streaky Bay Aquatic Sports Club to become the Flinders Amateur Swimming & Sailing Club.

According to history, locals and visitors would swim by and sit in the shade of the wheat and wool sheds off the jetty shore; which many continue to do to this day under the remnants called ‘The Platform’. After shark sightings and a 9ft (2.74m) shark had been caught at the jetty in 1936, it was decided that the town would erect a shark proof swimming enclosure. Much fundraising led to the opening of the Jetty Pool on 21 January 1939.  The pool has since become one of the most memorable places to spend the days of summer.

In 2011 the Streaky Bay Jetty Pool Committee formed as the voice of the Jetty Pool.  Consisting of a wide cross section of passionate community people the Committee is a Sub-Committee of the Streaky Bay Tourist Promotions Inc.  The Jetty pool has been transformed through a major upgrade and several improvement projects from the fundraising efforts of the passionate Committee and community.
