It is famous for its land based viewing of the magnificent Southern Right Whale between June and October since around100 Southern Right Whales frequent this area of the South Australian coastline to breed and give birth to whale calves. The whole family will be enjoying watching a variety of behaviour including tail slapping, breaching, blow holing and rolling belly up. Other species occasionally seen include Australian Sea lions and the Great White Shark. At other months the Bight is still worth a visit since provides views of the Bunda Cliffs to the west and the giant sand dunes and long beach’s to the east.
Whale watching has physiologic effect to people watching them behave in their own habitat and as well as used for educational purposes.
