Ceduna is renowned for its seafood, particularly oysters, and hosts the annual Oysterfest each October. Freshly shucked oysters are a local delicacy, often enjoyed with champagne on the Murat Bay foreshore during the festival. The region's coastline also offers excellent fishing opportunities, making seafood a significant component of the local food scene.
In addition to seafood, Ceduna's food culture reflects its indigenous roots through venues like Arts Ceduna. Here, visitors can discover artwork inspired by local artists' connection to the land, resources, and ancestors, providing insights into the region's cultural heritage.
The town's proximity to the Nullabor Plain and its role as a gateway to this vast expanse of arid landscape also influences Ceduna's food scene. Travelers often pass through Ceduna to stock up on supplies before embarking on their journey across the Nullabor, adding to the town's bustling atmosphere. The nearby Smoky Bay is another food destination, known for its thriving oyster industry and beautiful bay perfect for swimming, fishing, and relaxing.
