Annette’s Guidebook
Sightseeing
Explore the Historic Port Adelaide with some buildings as early as the mid to late 1800's, there's so much to see and do here. From Tour Guided walks to Dolphin River Cruises and access to the Tall Ships the One & All and The Failie plus the famous Clipper Ship City Of Adelaide. The Railway Museum located in the heart of the Port and Aviation Museum both offer fantastic days out.
Pirate Life Brewery and The Big Shed Brewery offer unique Craft Beer tastings and tours. You can even get your hair cut at Pirate Life with a Beer or 2 in hand ;)
Gorgeous beachside location with a jetty that has a few Seal locals putting on a show at night. Beautiful white safe swimming beaches through summer shouldn't be missed.
Night time strolls between the Semaphore Jetty and Largs Bay Jetty are a must!
Many cafes and restuarants of countless cuisines line Semaphore Road leading up to the Jetty.
Don't forget the Semaphore Mini Train its well worth a trip for all ages! :)

Port Adelaide
Psssst...this is a LOCAL SECRET so don't tell anyone. Located a short drive through Port Adelaide's Industrial area and down a dirt road is a small unique Island, surrounded by Marshes, Historical Ship Graveyards, and the Local Dolphins, this Island is a must for Snorkelists and Canoe / Paddleboat Lovers!...We'll even lend you a paddleboat or 2 to check it out (if you know what you're doing ;)
A long thin Jetty is great for a stroll or fishing and there's a BBQ if you're looking for a great day out.

Definitely our favorite Brecky Hub!
Don't miss the tastiest brecky ever at this unique establishment. This café literally sits on pillars over the water. You can watch boats, canoes, jellyfish, dolphins and an occasional seal just swim on by. Run by locals they're dedicated to sustainability and local produce....and they're located directly across from the Harts Mill Playground.
