Tiddy Widdy Beach

Yorke Peninsula

Tiddy Widdy Beach is a small settlement, just to the north of Ardrossan on the eastern coastline of Yorke Peninsula.

The quirky town name of Tiddy Widdy comes from a well, located north of the town that was known to the local indigenous people as ‘Tiddy Widdy Ned’.

Tiddy Widdy Beach has lots of holiday homes and is popular for crabbing, fishing and beach activities.

Things to do:

Crabbing
Walk The Yorke
CH Smith Trail
Follow the Stobie Pole Art Trail, a community art project with more than 50 artworks across 26 stobie poles
Birdwatching
Tiddy Widdy Beach Reserve


The CH Smith Trail follows the clifftop from Tiddy Widdy Beach to Ardrossan, offering great views of Gulf St Vincent and plenty of birdlife. This easy three kilometre trail has many access points and is cycle and wheelchair friendly.

The Yorke Peninsula is the traditional lands of the Narungga (Nharangga) people, who have lived on, and cared for, this country since the beginning of time. We work, live and travel on Nharannga Banggara [Country], and we take time away from those pursuits to acknowledge and pay our deep respects to the Nharangga Elders of the past and present. 

Today, it is essential that we continue to care for and protect our spectacular natural environment. Tread lightly and leave no trace. Learn more about responsible and respectful travel on Yorke Peninsula.
