Port Vincent is a small town on the east coast of Yorke Peninsula in South Australia, 194 km from Adelaide by road.

In its early days it was a port exporting wheat, barley, wool and mallee stumps (firewood).

Three major fuel companies had storage and distribution depots in the town, supplied by boat or barge from Port Adelaide.

Port Vincent was named Australia's Tidiest Town in 2004, having won the South Australian award in 2000 and 2003.

2011 saw Port Vincent win the State's Cleanest Beach Award and went on to the National Judging.
