Tumby Island is a 25 ha low bedrock Island lying 500 m off the tip of Tumby Point, and connected to the point at low tide by curving sand and rock flats. The Island was named by Matthew Flinders in 1802, after his native parish in England. On the northern side of the Island is a 350 m long sand beach (706) fronted by 100 to 200 m wide rock and sand flats. The Island is a conservation park and can only be reached by boat or on foot at low tide. The remainder of the Island has low rock bluffs.
