About Black Point
Black Point is a small coastal locality on the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia, situated on the western shore of Gulf St Vincent approximately 80 kilometres south of Port Wakefield within the Yorke Peninsula Council area. Covering around 9 square kilometres, the locality is a popular holiday and fishing destination characterised by a small beach, boat ramp, and scattered holiday shacks fronting the calm, sheltered waters of Gulf St Vincent. With a permanent population of around 64 residents, Black Point swells significantly during school holidays and summer weekends.
The sheltered bay provides excellent conditions for recreational fishing, crabbing, and safe swimming, making Black Point a favourite with Adelaide families seeking a relaxed beach getaway. The nearby towns of Ardrossan and Maitland offer supermarkets, schools, and essential services for the local community. Black Point exemplifies the laid-back coastal character of the Yorke Peninsula, attracting holidaymakers and retirees who value quiet beaches, fresh seafood, and the simple pleasures of seaside living.
