“The first of its kind in South Australia and the largest in Australia, Windara Reef is a shellfish restoration reef in Gulf St Vincent.”
Windara Reef offers great fishing for recreational fishers with fish species including King George Whiting & Snapper.
The reef is named Windara Reef after the Narungga name for the eastern section of Yorke Peninsula, which is one of the 4 clans making up Narungga. It is located 1km off the Rogues Point coast, 7km south of Ardrossan and is at a water depth of 8-10 metres.
The 4-hectare site is the first construction phase of Windara Reef, and is made of 60 custom-made concrete structures and over 800 tones of Yorke Peninsula limestone, covered with Pacific Oyster shells & juvenile native oysters.
Recreational fishing, boating and diving is permitted, within the reef area, however boats can’t anchor due to possible damage to the reef and anchors getting snagged on the reef structure.
The nearest boat launching to Windara Reef is at Ardrossan (dual lane, all tide, with boarding pontoon) & Rogues Point (single lane, not recommended at low tide). Please check tide times before launching your boat from Rogues Point.
