Details About Eden
Destinations » Australia/New Zealand » Australia/New Zealand » Eden
The southern gateway to the Sapphire Coast, Eden is set in rugged beauty with golden sandy beaches and crystal waters to the east and forests and parklands to the west. It sees the whales feeding as they migrate every year; the days when men and killer whales worked together to herd the gentle giants for the whaling industry are long gone and faithfully recorded in fascinating displays at the Eden Killer Whale Museum.

Attractions
- Eden Gateway Information Centre - Located on the corner of Princes Highway and Mitchell Street, the office has plenty of information, maps, T-shirts, souvenirs and Aboriginal Art.
- Local Walks - A stroll through Eden's streets will give visitors some insight into life in a small Australian town. Historic buildings include the Great Southern Inn at the corner of Imlay and Chandos Streets, and St. George's Church dating from 1865. A board walk around the Guralo Lagoon starts approximately 700 yards north of the Information Centre. Viewing platforms along the mile-long path show Aboriginal art and allow for some bird watching. The Maritime Heritage Walk at Aslings Beach features images of maritime history inlaid in the path.
- Beaches - Aslings Beach just to the north of town is good for surfing and snorkeling. However, swimmers have to be aware of strong currents and there may be no life guard on duty.
Shopping
Items of interest may include maritime souvenirs and local arts, such as pottery, jewelry, wooden bowls, Aboriginal artifacts and paintings, and regional wines. Eden's Imlay Street is the main shopping street. Pottery and craft shops can also be found on Princes Highway. The Killer Whale Museum Shop is also worth a visit.
Currency
The local currency used in Adelaide is the Australian Dollar (AUD).
