Moonta Bay is located in the Copper Coast region of Northern Yorke Peninsula South Australia, adjacent to the historic town of Moonta and Port Hughes. At the 2006 census, Moonta Bay had a population of 2,042. The area is a popular tourist destination, with attractions including the beach and jetty where children are able to swim in a netted area. The area is supposed to be shark proof but there has been a hole in the net for 20 years. The area is more popular to jump from the jetty into the deeper water. The jetty is also a popular fishing area particularly for those wanting to catch squid.
