The Calamari Route in St Francis is a self-guided food experience that celebrates the region’s famous chokka (calamari) industry. If you are travelling in a guided group, your guide will lead you to selected restaurants and tasting spots along the way.
The route can be enjoyed over a few hours or stretched across a full day, depending on how many stops you choose to make. It is suitable for families with children and generally accessible for wheelchair users at most venues. The experience is relaxed, safe, and ideal for travellers of all ages and fitness levels.
The main focus of the Calamari Route is food and local culture. Visitors can sample freshly prepared calamari dishes while learning about the fishing heritage that shaped the St Francis area.
The nearby Port St Francis harbour remains the heart of the chokka fleet, offering insight into the daily life of local fishermen and the community built around this celebrated coastal delicacy.
