**Memory Cove** is a [bay](/source/Bay) located on the East coast of [Jussieu Peninsula](/source/Jussieu_Peninsula) on [Eyre Peninsula](/source/Eyre_Peninsula) in [South Australia](/source/South_Australia) approximately 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) South-East of [Port Lincoln](/source/Port_Lincoln).

It is one of the natural features named by [Matthew Flinders](/source/Matthew_Flinders) in memory of the eight crew who were lost on a [cutter](/source/Cutter_(boat)) that capsized sometime after being launched from [HM Sloop *Investigator*](/source/HMS_Investigator_(1798)) to search for water on 21 February 1802.[2][3]

Since 2004, the coastline enclosing the bay has been part of the [Memory Cove Wilderness Protection Area](/source/Memory_Cove_Wilderness_Protection_Area).[3]
