A calm, shallow swimming beach at Port Hughes near Moonta, with a relaxed holiday foreshore.
Just along the coast from Moonta Bay, Port Hughes is a low-key holiday spot built around a calm, shallow beach and a popular fishing jetty. The water shelves gently and stays sheltered, making it a comfortable place for families to swim and paddle.
The foreshore is relaxed and unhurried, the kind of place where caravan-park holidays and shack stays have shaped the rhythm for generations. A golf links sits on the headland nearby, adding to the town's quiet appeal.
With Moonta and its mines only a short drive inland, Port Hughes makes an easy seaside base for exploring the Copper Coast.
