About Port Broughton Jetty
Port Broughton Jetty is a historic T-shaped timber jetty extending into Spencer Gulf at Port Broughton on South Australia's Yorke Peninsula, within the Barunga West Council area. Originally constructed in 1876 to service wheat and cargo shipping, it is now a central visitor attraction. Notable for its length, fishing opportunities, sheltered waters, and sunset views, it forms part of the town's foreshore precinct with adjacent parklands and beach.
