Port Noarlunga


Port Noarlunga is one of the most popular SCUBA/snorkeling/swimming sites in South Australia.

There is a jetty which runs out to a reef. The jetty has two sets of steps. One at the very end, near the reef, and one about half way along.
The reef runs parallel to the shore about 400m out. It is more than 1500m long, but only a few metres wide. There is a gap in the southern part of the reef which allows swimmers to pass through to the seaward side if they choose to. Between the reef and the low tide mark is a sandy floor with extensive areas of weeds and sometimes shell fish.

There is a "marine trail" with 12 underwater markers (and one anchor!) which can be followed.
