Semaphore

Despite being within easy reach of Adelaide's city centre, you will feel like you have dropped into a remote beach escape when you visit Semaphore.

Explore the quirky cafes and antique shops of this beachside suburb's esplanade, or try your hand at mini-golf at the Semaphore Waterslide Complex.

Wander down to the foot of the jetty and jump onboard the Semaphore to Fort Glanville Tourist Railway. The train runs along the idyllic coastline through sand dunes and near the historic Fort Glanville at Point Malcolm.

With plenty of accommodation options in the area, you can wake up to the sounds of the ocean and go for a morning swim in the calm shallows of Semaphore's beach. Watch a movie in the state's oldest purpose-built cinema, The Odeon Star, or gaze at the sunset whilst feasting on locally caught fish and chips.
