Semaphore Beach

Semaphore Beach, located approximately 14 km northwest of Adelaide, offers pristine white sands and family-friendly shallows, making it a quintessential beach escape. The expansive two-kilometer foreshore features a vintage carousel, a steam train along the shoreline, and a bike track. Visitors can often spot local dolphins and seals from the jetty. Historical landmarks include the Timeball Tower, one of the few working timeballs globally, and the 1920s Palais bathing pavilion, now the Semaphore Palais hotel. The area boasts a variety of dining options, from fine dining to casual fish and chips. Annual events like the Semaphore Street Fair and the Kite Festival add to its vibrant community atmosphere.
