Boston Island lies six kilometres east of Port Lincoln inside two headlands that form the second largest harbour in the world.

The island is a central off-shore feature of the harbour and has a land mass of approximately 1000 hectares. For the past 150 years the island has been used primarily for sheep grazing.

The island’s owner is now looking at opportunities to develop the island by providing a range of residential,
recreational, tourism, environmental and economic activities.
