Tractor Beach is a peaceful, sheltered coastal camping and snorkeling spot on the Westall Way Loop between Streaky Bay and Sceale Bay on the Eyre Peninsula. Backed by sand dunes and flanked by striking red cliffs, this calm beach offers clear, shallow waters perfect for a relaxed snorkel. The protected bay setting means gentle conditions ideal for beginners, with a shell-speckled shoreline and excellent chances of spotting playful Australian sea lions that frequent the waters off this stretch of coast.
