Salty ‘Sea’esta has become a highlight of the annual Cuttlefest program, celebrating the arrival of the Australian Giant Cuttlefish aggregation while showcasing Whyalla’s vibrant community, local businesses and coastal lifestyle.
The event is free to attend and offers something for all ages, making it the perfect opportunity for families and friends to come together over the June long weekend. A free community bus service will also operate throughout the day, helping make travel to and from the event easy and accessible for everyone.
If you spot the signs below around the gardens, be sure to scan them and share your Cuttlefest selfies, photos, videos, or comments about your experience at Salty 'Sea' esta. The signs link to our digital guestbook, which we're using to capture all the memorable moments from this year's Cuttlefest. We'd love to see the community get involved and help us showcase everything that makes this event so special.
