Marion Bay is a small township at the southern tip of the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia, Australia. At the 2006 census, Marion Bay had a population of 138.[1]

It is surrounded by beaches and is the gateway to the Innes National Park. The close proximity of the beach and cliffs have popularized Marion Bay as a fishing destination, with Brown Beach in the nearby Innes National Park being particularly famous among recreational fisherman as a picturesque fishing destination.

Two very popular surfing resorts are Ethel Wreck and Pondalowie Bay.
