Point Turton jetty

Point Turton Jetty, established in 1876, is a historic structure located in the coastal town of Point Turton, South Australia. Originally built to export local barley and stone, the jetty has evolved over the years to serve various purposes, including the shipment of grain, superphosphate, heavy freight, and local provisions. Today, it remains a popular spot for fishing enthusiasts, offering opportunities to catch species such as tommies, squid, snook, and garfish. The sheltered waters of Hardwicke Bay, where the jetty is situated, provide ideal conditions for year-round boating, sailing, windsurfing, diving, and fishing. Visitors can also enjoy snorkeling around the jetty, where colorful soft corals adorn the pylons, and marine life such as crabs, shrimps, and small fish abound. The area is also known for sightings of stingrays, adding to the rich marine biodiversity. Adjacent to the jetty, the Point Turton Caravan Park offers accommodation options, making it a convenient base for exploring the southern Yorke Peninsula. The town's natural beauty and recreational opportunities make it a cherished destination for both locals and tourists.
