Edithburgh Jetty
About 170 m timber jetty on the southern Yorke Peninsula, regarded as one of South Australia's best shore dives, with steps on the northern and southern sides for easy entry. Maximum depth is about 10–12 m, so it suits all levels. The pylons are covered in colourful temperate corals and sponges, and the leafy sea dragon and striped pyjama squid are listed among the iconic species seen under or near the jetty. Gulf St Vincent side, facing east.
