Rapid Bay Jetty

Rapid Bay Jetty is a historic coastal structure at Rapid Bay on the Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia, within the District Council of Yankalilla about 100 kilometres south of Adelaide. It comprises the heritage-listed 1940s T-shaped old jetty, now closed to public access, and a newer 240-metre jetty opened in 2009. Renowned as one of Australia's premier shore dives, it is famous for leafy seadragons, diverse marine life and scenic views over Encounter Bay.

Visitors can expect a scenic coastal setting with two parallel jetties extending into clear waters of Encounter Bay. The newer jetty is open for walking and fishing with views of cliffs, beach and the closed heritage-listed old jetty. The area is renowned for shore diving and snorkelling around the old jetty pylons, where leafy seadragons and varied marine life are often seen. Surroundings include a pebble beach, foreshore reserve, car park and picnic area.
