Its boundaries were created in December 2011. The name is derived from Murninnie Beach Shack Site whose site is located within the locality's boundaries.[1][6][7][8]
As of 2015, Murminnie Beach consists of an area of land adjoining the coastline and containing a settlement consisting of several streets of low-rise dwellings. The majority of the locality is zoned for conservation purposes with the view of providing limited built development intended principally for recreational and tourism uses, which has a minimal impact and where provided, complements the environment of the locality.[1][9]
Murminnie Beach is located within the federal division of Grey, the state electoral district of Giles and the local government area of the City of Whyalla.[1][2][3]
