Bluff Beach is a locality in the Australian state of South Australia located on the west coast of Yorke Peninsula overlooking Hardwicke Bay about 104 kilometres (65 mi) west of the Adelaide city centre.[2][3] Its boundaries were created in May 1999 for the “long established name” and includes the former Bluff Beach Shack Site from which the locality’s name was derived.[2] As of 2015, the majority land use within the locality is agriculture. A secondary land use is conservation which concerns the strip of land immediately adjoining the coastline. A third use of land is residential use along the coastline at the site of the former shack site.[7] Bluff Beach is located within the federal division of Grey, the state electoral district of Goyder and the local government area of the Yorke Peninsula Council.[5][4][2]
