The town is well-known for its long, wide northern beaches, making it a popular spot for swimming, fishing, and simply unwinding by the sea.

Below the jetty, the waters are teeming with marine life, making it a popular location for divers eager to explore the underwater world.

The town is also home to a deep-sea port and the Spencer Gulf prawn fleet, adding to its maritime charm. The multi-million-dollar marina development and the Spencer Gulf Searoad Car and Passenger Ferry provide a modern touch, making Wallaroo not just a place for history but also a gateway for further exploration of the region.

In 2022, Wallaroo was honoured with the title of South Australia’s Small Tourism Town in the Top Tourism Town Awards, reflecting its growing popularity as a destination for visitors seeking a mix of history, outdoor activities, and relaxing seaside charm.
