About Edithburgh Jetty
Edithburgh Jetty is a historic timber jetty located on the foreshore of Edithburgh on the south-eastern tip of Yorke Peninsula, South Australia, extending into Gulf St Vincent. Built in 1873 to service grain and wool exports, it is now a State Heritage-listed structure. It is notable for its length, heritage character, and as one of South Australia's most popular shore-diving and fishing jetties with a dedicated underwater dive trail.
