Discover Underwater Wonders: Moonta Bay Jetty's Epic Snorkelling Adventure!

Moonta Bay Jetty & Swimming Enclosure, located just a 2-hour drive away from Adelaide, offers an excellent snorkelling experience. Positioned in shallow waters, the jetty is surrounded by a rocky reef, algae, and seagrass, providing a vibrant underwater ecosystem to explore. The colorful pylons serve as homes to various marine creatures like crabs, fish, and nudibranchs. If you're fortunate, you may encounter sea horses, sea lions, rays, pyjama squid, and harmless Port Jackson sharks. While Moonta is easily accessible as a day trip from Adelaide, there is an abundance of activities and sights in the area, making an overnight trip worthwhile.

Distance from Adelaide: Approximately 165 km to the west.

Parking and facilities: Restrooms and car parking are available. The long jetty features a swimming enclosure with convenient entry and exit steps.
