About Price
Price is a small coastal locality on the eastern shore of Gulf St Vincent, approximately 131 kilometres north-west of Adelaide within the Yorke Peninsula Council area. With a population of 205, it is a quiet settlement with a strong identity shaped by its natural environment — extensive mangrove forests, tidal samphire flats, and the salt pans of Cheetham Salt's operation on its southern edge. The locality sits just seven kilometres south of Port Clinton and is accessible via the Yorke Peninsula highway network.
Price is beloved by recreational fishers and crabbers, with Blue Swimmer Crabs the star attraction in the warmer months — particularly January and February. Two creek systems, Wills Creek and Shag Creek, serve as important fish nursery areas and are popular with small boat operators seeking sheltered waters. A walking trail connects Price to Port Clinton, and the nearby Wills Creek Conservation Park adds to the area's natural appeal for birdwatchers and nature lovers. The friendly Wheatsheaf Hotel provides the main social hub for locals and visitors passing through.
Price falls under postcode 5570 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Narungga electorate.
