This drive is worth doing. It is well sign posted and shows you alot of the rugged coastline. If the weather is not great you still get great views from the car.

With work commencing in early 1878, the Beachport Jetty nowadays is not what was originally planned. It was to be 4000 feet long with a T Head 122 feet long, 18 feet wide. The present jetty is 2536 feet long, approximately 772 metres after the T Head section and some length removed several years after the 1882 completion. On first sighting the jetty, I was impressed with the length and it seemed to on forever like a bridge into the unknown. Although now not used for commercial purposes, the jetty is the home to many fishers hoping to catch that big’un. For the non-fishers, the walk on the jetty is relaxing and looking back to land opens vistas of coastal beauty. The jetty precinct is a central focal point of the town. With a cafe and also giftshop/tackle shop just opposite the jetty and the permanent seating features on the beach front, it is worth the time to wander and just have a good time. The seating and tables appear to me made from railway sleepers that may have come from the Mt Gambier to Beachport Railway which was opened in 1879. Other tables and seating have been made from railway trucks serving as the table with the seating also made from timber. The creativity in the design of the beach boulevard area bridges the past with the present. The jetty experience is just one of the many historical offerings in Beachport. Return? Yes .... Especially in the warmer weather as the jetty juts out into the Southern Ocean and has cold winds for winter!

A short walk from the Carpark and you're there. Excellent views from the lighthouse and then take a short walk to the next viewing platform and you get good views of the lighthouse.

German mines laid during WW2 wased up on beaches. One was brought in to shore & was to be blown up. Unfortunately mis-adventure happened & two sailors killed when it blew up. Excellent memorial. One sailor was buried locally but was later removed & reburied in Cheltenham Cemetery , SA. the other sailor was buried in Junee, NSW. Toilets at the site & a lovely beach to walk/swim. Really it is a war Memorial.
