The Yankalilla region in South Australia is renowned for its picturesque jetties, boardwalks, and piers, with the Rapid Bay Jetty being a prominent attraction located about 1 hour and 20 minutes from Adelaide on the Fleurieu Peninsula. The jetty extends 360 meters north from the shore, then angles to the right for an additional 80 meters, ending in a 200-meter wharf with varying depths at its ends. The original pier is closed due to disrepair, but a new jetty has been constructed nearby for public use, catering to pedestrians, fishermen, and divers.
Facilities near the new jetty include a car park, albeit a potentially long walk during busy times, with public toilets available at the District Council of Yankalilla campground about 650 meters to the east. Visitors to the Yankalilla region can partake in activities at the Rapid Bay Jetty like diving, which offers sightings of various fish and nudibranchs, including the Leafy Seadragons. Fishing enthusiasts can make use of the jetty's access to deeper waters and diverse fish species. The scenic surroundings of the jetty, boardwalks, and piers also provide an excellent backdrop for photographers to capture stunning images. Additionally, a charming wooded boardwalk in Yankalilla town offers a pleasant walking path parallel to the beach and Victorian houses, adding to the area's attractions.
