Semaphore Beach

Semaphore Beach is a long sandy beach on the eastern shore of Gulf St Vincent in the suburb of Semaphore, within the City of Port Adelaide Enfield, about 14 kilometres northwest of central Adelaide, South Australia. Known for its wide sandy foreshore, historic 1860 jetty, foreshore reserve and views across the gulf, it is a popular family and swimming beach with a coastal trail, playgrounds and heritage attractions nearby.

Visitors can expect a wide, flat sandy beach backed by a large grassed foreshore reserve along The Esplanade. The beach features the 652-metre Semaphore Jetty extending into Gulf St Vincent, a paved coastal shared-use trail, playgrounds, barbecues and picnic areas. The setting is open and urban-coastal with calm gulf waters, views to the west for sunsets, and nearby heritage buildings, cafes and the Semaphore foreshore amusement area including the historic carousel.
