Port Hughes Jetty

Port Hughes Jetty is a historic timber jetty at Port Hughes on Spencer Gulf in South Australia's Copper Coast region. Built in 1914 to support the copper mining industry and coastal shipping for Moonta and Wallaroo, it extends into the gulf and is now a major recreational landmark. Notable for fishing, snorkelling and sunset views, it sits beside a sandy swimming beach and forms part of the Copper Coast's trio of heritage jetties with Wallaroo and Moonta Bay.

Visitors can expect a long timber jetty extending into Spencer Gulf with open sea views, a flat deck for walking and fishing, and sheltered sandy beach on either side for swimming. The setting is a small coastal town foreshore with parking, lawns and nearby holiday accommodation. Visitors can fish from the jetty, walk to the end for photography and sunset views, snorkel or dive around the pylons, and explore the foreshore and beach areas.
