Point Lowly is the tip of a small peninsula north north-east of Whyalla in the Upper Spencer Gulf region of South Australia.

The icons of the peninsula are the historic Point Lowly Lighthouse[4] and the mass breeding aggregation of Australian giant cuttlefish which occurs inshore each winter.

As of July 2015, Port Bonython Fuels is under construction, the desalination plant has been deferred and the iron ore export wharf is yet to receive necessary state and federal environmental approvals.

Industrialization plans near Point Lowly have been met with public opposition from several community groups based in nearby Whyalla.

Groups include Save Point Lowly,[10] the Cuttlefish Coast Coalition and the Alternative Port Working Party.

[14] The Point Lowly peninsula is a low plateau, sloping NW - SE, in the Simmens quartzite member, of the Neoprotorozoic Tent Hill formation.

At the Weroona Bay dunes backshore low cobble ridges occur, possibly formerly covered by white Holocene sands that are now immediately inland.
