Explore Streaky Bay, South Australia, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Streaky Bay, SA map and move it around to re-centre it. You can change between standard map view and satellite map view by clicking the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. You can use the zoom buttons on the lower right side of the map to zoom in or out to street-level detail.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets — plus a labelled MGA grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Streaky Bay, South Australia, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
Drag the map to pan to any area of South Australia or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Streaky Bay and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Geoscience Australia National Base Map — seamless topographic mapping covering the mainland, Tasmania and the external territories. NATMAP 250K shows the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 map sheets, mosaicked nationwide — the printed sheets generations of Australians navigated the outback with. The search box finds any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Streaky Bay.
Reading the map like a paper sheet. Click Grid to overlay the Map Grid of Australia (MGA), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as an MGA grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what emergency services and search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load, which across much of inland Australia is most of the time.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Streaky Bay unfolds along a coastline where the land seems to exhale a sigh of ochre and pale gold, meeting the restless, sapphire expanse of the Southern Ocean. It lies 458.0 km west-north-west of Gawler, SA (from Gawler, SA: bearing 294°T), and is situated 51.8 km south-south-east of Smoky Bay. The bay itself, a broad, sheltering curve, is edged by a mosaic of white-sand beaches and rugged limestone cliffs, their weathered faces telling tales of wind and water. Inland, the terrain is a study in understated beauty: rolling, sun-baked plains give way to scrubby saltbush and hardy native grasses that shimmer in the relentless sun. The air here carries a faint, briny tang, a constant reminder of the sea's proximity, and the light, particularly in the late afternoon, possesses a peculiar, honeyed quality that softens the edges of the world.
This corner of the Eyre Peninsula has long been shaped by the sea and the soil, its history intertwined with the pastoral and fishing industries that continue to define its character. For generations, sheep have grazed the sparse but resilient pastures, their wool a vital commodity, while the bounty of the ocean – plump oysters, succulent whiting, and the prized abalone – fuels a thriving seafood economy. The town centre of Streaky Bay, a hub of unassuming activity, reflects this dual heritage, with its working harbour and modest shops catering to both locals and the steady trickle of travellers drawn to its wild beauty. Landmarks like the iconic jetty, stretching out into the placid waters of the bay, serve as silent witnesses to the ebb and flow of life, a constant connection between the land and the vast, blue horizon.

These are among the most commonly searched location details for any Australian city, town or locality.
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name; offers Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets as base layers; overlays a labelled Map Grid of Australia (MGA) so the map can be read like a printed topographic sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as an MGA grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from Geoscape Administrative Boundaries (GDA2020) and enriched with GeoNames and Australian Bureau of Statistics data, matched by coordinate proximity — ensuring the correct Streaky Bay is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
