Beachport Jetty
One of South Australia's longest jetties, stretching about 770 metres into Rivoli Bay. It is a popular spot for fishing, dolphin watching and sunsets.
Beachport Jetty was built in 1878 and later extended to about 770 metres, making it one of the longest jetties in South Australia. It was once used to ship wool and grain. Today it is a paradise for anglers, who can catch species such as australian salmon, squid and snapper. Dolphins occasionally swim past the jetty. Walking to the end and back takes about 30 minutes, and from the end you can look back at the town of Beachport and its white beaches. The jetty is free to access, but take care in strong winds. The town's main street has 19th-century buildings, including the old Customs House and former post office, as well as a small museum, which are worth a stroll. Beachport is about 50 kilometres from Robe, roughly a 40-minute drive.
