Port Noarlunga Beach, Jetty, Reef and Aquatic Trail
Port Noarlunga is a picturesque seaside village located approximately 30 kilometres south of Adelaide and perfect to swim, kayak, snorkel, dive and fish. The red sandstone beach cliffs, long jetty and reef, make it one of the iconic diving destinations in the state.
The off-shore Port Noarlunga Reef and aquatic reserve form part of the Encounter Marine Park - a divers and snorkelers paradise and also viewable from the end of the jetty. The reef can be further discovered by the self-guided Aquatic Trail for divers.
The safe swimming beach is patrolled by the Port Noarlunga Surf Lifesaving Club over the warmer months and also forms part of the Mid Coast regional surfing reserve - Australia's first!
When seeking a break from the beach for lunch or snacks, there are great eateries from bustling Becks Bakehouse to casual dining at Agatha's Kitchen, Drifters Pizza Bar, Noori Cafe and Bar or beachside at Mama Carmela's. The main street oozes charm with enchanting shops filled with fashion, unique gifts and homewares, all just waiting to be explored.
Port Noarlunga Beach is also part of Route 31 Coastal Drive, where you can explore 31kms of pristine coastline (hence its name) from O'Sullivan Beach to Sellicks Beach. Grab a map from the McLaren Vale and Fleurieu Coast Visitor Centre or download it from the website.
