A group of passionate surfers and volunteers at Daly Head have worked hard for decades to preserve their beautiful beaches for locals and visitors to enjoy.

Since the late nineties the community at Daly Head, located a short drive from Corny Point on the Yorke Peninsula, had the foresight to work towards maintaining the great surf beaches and their surroundings for future generations.

From the passion and dedication of ambitious surfers, The Formby Bay Environmental Action Group was born.

They work cooperatively and collaboratively with the council, maintaining their cool community spirit while going through official channels to be sure their voices are heard, and their surf protected.

With the hard work of the group, Daly Head was given National Surfing Reserve status in 2013, which reflects not just the surf itself but the local surfing history and culture.

Since then the group has continued to work toward their goal of making their coast sustainable.

President of the Formby Bay Environmental Action Group and the Daly Head National Surfing Reserve Committee, Geoff Rogers says they do a variety of work towards that vision.
