St Vincent Highway

The St Vincent Highway (route B88) is a major road on the southern part of Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. It diverges from the Yorke Highway to continue south along the coast of Gulf St Vincent when the Yorke highway turns inland near Pine Point. It passes inland of Port Vincent, Stansbury, Wool Bay and Port Giles then passes through Coobowie and Edithburgh. From here, the St Vincent Highway turns northwest to Yorketown and west to Warooka where it rejoins the Yorke Highway.[2]
