    Step into coastal tranquility at this Port Lincoln motel, just a quick drive to sandy shores where waves serenade beachcombers.
"Our 3 night stay was very pleasant. The room was spacious, clean and the the bed very comfortable. We had a lovely view from our room and it was very quiet. The position of Blue Seas is excellent and close to shopping eateries and the beach. The staff were very nice and helpful. The only negative is there is no lift so we had to walk up 2 flights of stairs, but there are ground floor units as well."

Frequently asked questions

How much does a beach hotel in Tumby Bay cost?
Prices for beach hotels in Tumby Bay vary, but you can find a great deal from £53 on Expedia. You're likely to find lower rates if you're travelling during the off-peak season or mid-week. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
Which area of Tumby Bay is best to stay in for beaches?
The best area to stay in Tumby Bay for beaches is along the Esplanade and its immediate surrounding streets, directly facing the main beachfront.

This area is the heart of Tumby Bay's coastal appeal, offering direct access to the town's main swimming beach. The Esplanade itself runs parallel to the coastline, featuring holiday homes and a few accommodation options that boast sea views. You'll find the Tumby Bay Jetty, a popular spot for a stroll or fishing, right here, and it's just a short walk to the town's main street with its shops and cafes.

For families, this beachfront strip is ideal. Children can easily access the calm waters of the bay for swimming and playing in the sand, and parents appreciate being able to walk directly from their accommodation to the beach without needing to drive. The nearby foreshore park provides playgrounds and picnic areas, adding to the family-friendly appeal.

Couples looking for a relaxing coastal escape will also find the Esplanade area perfect. Imagine waking up to sea views, enjoying leisurely walks along the sand, and being just steps away from a quiet evening stroll along the jetty.
What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Tumby Bay?
The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Tumby Bay is during the summer months, particularly from December to February. The weather is beautifully warm and sunny, with average temperatures ranging from 25°C to 30°C, creating ideal conditions for beach activities and water sports.

During this peak season, the town has a lively option, with families and couples enjoying the pristine beaches and calm waters. It's a fantastic time for swimming, snorkelling, fishing, or simply relaxing on the sand. Given the popularity, securing prime beachfront accommodation and booking tours in advance is highly recommended to ensure the best experience.

As another option, April offers a wonderful alternative. The weather remains pleasantly warm, typically around 20°C to 25°C, which is still excellent for enjoying the coast without the peak summer crowds. In April, you may find better value on beachfront hotels and it can be easier to secure reservations at popular local eateries.
How can I save on a beach hotel in Tumby Bay with Expedia?
One Key™ —Expedia's free travel rewards programme—gives you instant access to perks and Member Prices on Tumby Bay beach hotels. Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. But, if you're feeling spontaneous, check out the last-minute deals.



*Excludes taxes and fees. OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used on Expedia and other participating brands.
What beach activities should we do in Tumby Bay?
The best beach activities in Tumby Bay involve exploring the calm waters and sandy shores, with options for both relaxation and more active pursuits.

For a relaxing day by the sea, Tumby Bay's main beach, located right in front of the town, is excellent. The sheltered bay means the water is usually very calm, making it superb for swimming, especially for families with young children. The jetty is a popular spot for a stroll or for trying your hand at fishing. You'll find amenities like public toilets and changing rooms nearby, and there are often ice cream vans on warm days.

If you're looking for more active water sports, the calm conditions are also ideal for paddleboarding or kayaking. You can often hire equipment locally, allowing you to explore the coastline at your own pace. There are also designated areas for sailing and windsurfing if you bring your own gear. These activities are particularly good for couples or families with older children looking to enjoy the water together.

For those interested in exploring further, several smaller, more secluded beaches are accessible by car just outside the main town. These offer a quieter experience and are great for beachcombing or simply enjoying the peaceful coastal scenery.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Tumby Bay as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Tumby Bay for you.
