Seafood by the sea

Kingston SE wears its rock lobster heritage proudly, and its summer festival turns the foreshore into a celebration of the local catch, with fresh seafood, regional produce, live music and family entertainment.

Held in the shadow of Larry the Lobster, it's a festive seaside day that captures the easygoing spirit of the northern Limestone Coast. Confirm the current year's dates with the organisers before you travel.
