St Vincent's Gulf is a large inlet of water on the southern coast of
Australia, in the state of
South Australia. It is bordered by two
peninsulas: the
Yorke Peninsula to the west, and the
Fleurieu Peninsula to the south east.
Kangaroo Island is across the opening to the
Southern Ocean on the southwest. The capital of South Australia,
Adelaide, is situated on its east coast. Other notable towns located on the Gulf include
Ardrossan,

The gulf is also abundant with various organisms from the classes crustaecea and polychaeta, as well as various species of sea squirts and sea urchins. The benthos is a soft sediment shelf, with species of zosteracea around the mouth of the Port River.
