    Point Labatt is a headland located on the west coast of Eyre Peninsula in the Australian state of South Australia about 39 kilometres east of Streaky Bay.
    It is notable as one of the largest Australian mainland breeding sites for Australian sea lions.

    Found in no other country in the world, the Australian sea lion is one of Australia’s most endangered marine mammals and rarest seals.
    Point Labatt is the only place on the mainland where Australian seal pups can be seen learning to swim, play and rest on the beach.

    It is also one of the few places in and around Australia where they are protected from land predators, and which provides a safe environment for the sea lion pups to develop.
