Daly Head National Surfing ReservePrint Page
The Daly Head National Surfing Reserve recognises the significance of Daly Head to South Australian surfing culture.
The Daly Head National Surfing Reserve is the first along Australia's southern coastline and was dedicated on 12 January 2013. Achieving National Surfing Reserve (NSR) status ensures that Daly Head has recognition as an iconic world class surfing location.
It is one of only 21 National Surfing Reserves, and currently the only one between Killalea (The Farm) on the New South Wales south coast, and Margaret River in Western Australia's south-west.
The Formby Bay Environmental Action Group and the local surfing community were instrumental in gaining National Surfing reserve status for Daly Head; all are volunteers with a passion for seeing Daly Head preserved for future generations.
