Mount Dutton Bay
The historic Mount Dutton Bay Woolshed and Mount Dutton Bay Jetty are listed on the South Australian Heritage Register. The woolshed and jetty were built by Eyre Peninsula pastoral pioneer Price Maurice to shear wool from his pastoral leases and transport it to markets; the jetty, the latter of the two, dates from 1881. The site was used as a hub for the wool industry until the 1950s; it has continued as a base for leisure activities thereafter. The woolshed and adjacent shearers' quarters now house tourist accommodation, a museum, cafe and gallery; a caravan park has also been built alongside.
The Mount Dutton Bay Conservation Park is located on islands in Mount Dutton Bay and other adjoining bodies of water.
The Aboriginal Barngarla name for "Mount Dutton" is Miranda.
