Cheetham Salt Limited, one of the Peninsula's largest industries and the biggest salt refinery in the southern hemisphere, is located just outside the town. An average of 150,000 tonnes of salt is harvested each year from its coastal evaporate pans. The salt pans are visible from the highway as you travel south from the town.

The Wheatsheaf Hotel was established in 1886, and is the heart of the community, with papers, milk and basic supplies available for purchase. Meals are served on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

In earlier times the causeway gave access to the timber wharf where stumps, wool, salt and grain were loaded onto ketches for export, these products are now transported in bulk form by road.
