The long jetty at Moonta Bay is a Copper Coast institution, popular for squid, whiting and an evening walk.
The jetty at Moonta Bay stretches a long way out over the shallow waters of Spencer Gulf, a fixture of Copper Coast holidays for generations. Anglers work it for squid, King George whiting and tommy ruff, while plenty of visitors simply stroll its length for the views and the sea air.
The bay behind it is gentle and shallow, part of a foreshore lined with holiday shacks, a caravan park and easy access to nearby Moonta. The whole scene has the relaxed feel of a classic South Australian seaside town.
It pairs naturally with a visit to the Moonta Mines just inland, making the bay the seaside half of a quintessential Copper Coast day.
