About Semaphore Jetty
Semaphore Jetty is a historic timber jetty extending into Gulf St Vincent at Semaphore Beach, about 14 kilometres northwest of Adelaide in the City of Port Adelaide Enfield, South Australia. Originally constructed in 1860 as a cargo and passenger landing, it is now a State heritage-listed recreational landmark. The jetty is a focal point of the Semaphore foreshore, offering fishing, walking and coastal views alongside the beach, reserves and heritage precinct.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a long timber jetty extending from the end of Semaphore Road over the sandy Semaphore Beach into Gulf St Vincent. The setting is an open coastal foreshore with beach, lawn reserves, playgrounds and heritage buildings nearby. Visitors can walk the length of the jetty, fish from designated areas, photograph coastal and sunset views, and access the beach on either side. The area is flat and exposed with seating and shelters along the foreshore.
