Clayton is a small town on the River Murray in South Australia. The town is located opposite the north-east tip of Hindmarsh Island, 87 kilometres (54 mi) by road from Adelaide or 12 kilometres (7 mi) upriver from Goolwa. At the 2006 census, Clayton and the surrounding area had a population of 463.[1]

Clayton was renamed Clayton Bay in 2010 as it was getting mixed up with Clayton, Victoria. [2] [3]

The sheltered waters of Clayton Bay and nearby islands make an ideal location for all types of water sports.

The town is the home of The Big Yabby.
