help Innes National Park Blowholes FAQ

Where are the Innes National Park Blowholes located?

The blowholes are on the rugged coast of Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park at the southwestern tip of South Australia's Yorke Peninsula. The park is also known for coastal cliffs, surf beaches, and the historic Inneston gypsum-mining area.

How do the Innes National Park Blowholes work?

Waves force air and seawater through cracks and openings in wave-cut coastal rock, creating the blowhole effect when swell conditions are strong enough. The spray is therefore weather-dependent rather than guaranteed on every visit.

Is it safe to stand close to the Innes blowholes?

Visitors should keep well back from cliff edges and exposed rocks because the park has unpatrolled water, unpredictable waves, and delayed emergency response. Parks South Australia specifically discourages climbing or fishing from rocks at Browns Beach and other remote locations.

What can you see near the Innes blowholes?

The park preserves Inneston, a gypsum ghost town that dates from the early 1900s, along with coastal walks and lookouts. The Inneston Historic Walk is a marked 2-kilometre loop, while the West Cape Headland Hike offers wider coastal views.
