About

Semaphore is a north-western seaside suburb approximately 14km from Adelaide. Semaphore's white sands, family-friendly shallows and colourful foreshore make for a classic Adelaide beach escape.

Enjoy the expanse of green foreshore – two kilometres of public space preserved for what beach holidays are supposed to be all about. Fun! Ride on the vintage carousel, buy ice creams and fish and chips, cycle on the bike track, and ride on the steam train that puffs along the shoreline.

In Semaphore, history isn't confined to a museum. You can often see local dolphins and seals from the end of the jetty. You can also see the Timeball Tower, one of the only working timeballs left in the world, the oldest working carousel in the southern hemisphere, the glorious 1920s Palais bathing pavilion (now the Semaphore Palais hotel) and historical buildings along Semaphore Road and the Esplanade.

Indulge in high-quality food in a beachside atmosphere, where fine dining and great pubs mix with quirky cafes and good old-fashioned fish and chips.

A very nice promenade where you can take a peaceful stroll. The walkway is very pretty, and from the end you can see the sea and the seagulls flying. The sand is very fine and very soft at the touch.There is also a playground nearby, so it is also recommended for families with small children. Wonderful place.
