Larges Jetty really is the true SA experience. Complete with a kiosk on the foreshore and an amazing looking pub across the road and white sandy beaches stretching in both directions this is how I like to think of coastal Adelaide. None of the pretentious feel like Glenelg, the casuak and easygoing Largs village gives you a taste of the real South Australia.

The Glenelg pier is an iconic part of the Glenelg foreshore. It's just long enough for a leisurely stroll on a sunny day. The clear water allows you to spot little fish darting around below.

Beautiful quiet beach. Lovely sand and water, perfect for a swim or play in. Nice little cafe and pub otherwise only a 10 minute walk to the larger Henley Beach area which will provide more food options.

With work commencing in early 1878, the Beachport Jetty nowadays is not what was originally planned. It was to be 4000 feet long with a T Head 122 feet long, 18 feet wide. The present jetty is 2536 feet long, approximately 772 metres after the T Head section and some length removed several years after the 1882 completion. On first sighting the jetty, I was impressed with the length and it seemed to on forever like a bridge into the unknown. Although now not used for commercial purposes, the jetty is the home to many fishers hoping to catch that big’un. For the non-fishers, the walk on the jetty is relaxing and looking back to land opens vistas of coastal beauty. The jetty precinct is a central focal point of the town. With a cafe and also giftshop/tackle shop just opposite the jetty and the permanent seating features on the beach front, it is worth the time to wander and just have a good time. The seating and tables appear to me made from railway sleepers that may have come from the Mt Gambier to Beachport Railway which was opened in 1879. Other tables and seating have been made from railway trucks serving as the table with the seating also made from timber. The creativity in the design of the beach boulevard area bridges the past with the present. The jetty experience is just one of the many historical offerings in Beachport. Return? Yes .... Especially in the warmer weather as the jetty juts out into the Southern Ocean and has cold winds for winter!

We stayed at the fantastic caravan park across the road. Jetty is a great place to relax and have a swim, stingrays are in the water nearby most of the day, so just be mindful of these beautiful creatures.

Definitely recommend taking a bottle of wine, picnic rug and some food to watch the sunset on this beautiful beach. There are caves that you can take a seat in and enjoy the view. It will not disappoint.

Great jetty and a good spot to check out who’s catching what. We had a most enjoyable stroll and enjoyed chatting to the locals who kindly gave us some good tips for when we go crabbing off the jetty.
