About Moonta Bay Jetty
Moonta Bay Jetty is a timber jetty extending into Spencer Gulf at Moonta Bay on South Australia's Copper Coast, about 17 km south of Kadina. Built to support the historic copper mining district, it is now a popular recreational structure for fishing, walking and swimming. The jetty offers views across the gulf, access to sheltered waters and sandy foreshore, and forms part of the region's coastal heritage alongside nearby beaches and historic mining sites.
