Marion Bay is a small township at the southern tip of the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia, Australia.
It has a population of approximately 150 people, and is a popular holiday location. It is surrounded by beaches and is the gateway to the Innes National Park. The close proximity of the beach and cliffs have popularized Marion Bay as a fishing destination, with Brown Beach in the nearby Innes National Park being particularly famous among recreational fisherman as a picturesque fishing destination.
In addition, Marion Bay has several fishing charters available and is home to the award winning Marion Bay Tavern, along with its unique 'Jimmy' burger which is quite expensive ($12).
Two very popular surfing resorts are Eithel Wreck and Pondelowie Bay.
