Port Hughes is a coastal town with much to offer laidback travelers. Tourists can start by dining at the outdoor beer garden of Port Hughes Tavern, made better by their exquisite seafood and steak grub. Walk 69 meters (226.38 feet) more to arrive at Port Hughes Jetty, where reeling in blue swimmer crabs, garfish, tommy ruff, or squid is a must before you leave. Boating opportunities are even available at the nearby multi-lane boat ramp. Apart from that, this small town is home to South Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches on the Copper Coast of Yorke Peninsula, boasting white sand and clear turquoise waters.

As it is, a day spent well calls for a cozy place to rest and recuperate. Luckily, we’ve curated a list to help you decide quickly. Check out the best Airbnb vacation rentals in Port Hughes, Australia, listed below.
