Whyalla Jetty

224 reviewsAbout
The only circular jetty in the Southern Hemisphere, Whyalla's striking jetty is a standout feature along the city's picturesque foreshore. Designed with strong community input, its distinctive circular form creates an inviting space for fishing, walking and sightseeing.
Construction commenced in September 2019, with both locals and visitors watching the landmark structure take shape. Extending 315 metres in total length, including its full circumference, the jetty offers a spacious and engaging experience over the water.
Custom-designed lighting runs along the entire handrail, transforming the jetty into a 24-hour attraction and providing a warm, ambient glow after dark. Accessibility has been thoughtfully integrated, with six specially designed sliding shelves along the top rail, making fishing easier for children and people with disability.
Built by Maritime Construction, the project also showcases local industry, with the Whyalla Steelworks supplying the majority of the steel. The structure is supported by 102 uniquely designed pylons driven deep into the seabed, ensuring strength and longevity.

Such a unique jetty we really enjoyed walking it. We saw a few pods of dolphins there as well. Some great views and pictures too from the Hummock Hill lookout. Well worth the visit.

Whyalla Jetty is a total gem! The views of the ocean are stunning, and it's so peaceful to walk along and watch the birds and fish. Plus, it's got a really cool history - it's been around since the 1900s! If you're in Whyalla, it's definitely worth a visit. You can chill out, grab a picnic, and enjoy the scenery.

I went there with my family in Easter holiday.The Whyalla Jetty is a very nice destination , offering visitors some of the most fascinating and colourful views you'll experience in Whyalla. Whether you're strolling along its 165-meter walkway or enjoying its unique circular design, the jetty provides an unforgettable experience. The panoramic views of the Spencer Gulf, coupled with the vibrant hues of the sunset or the serene waters during the day, create a perfect setting for photography, relaxation, or simply enjoying the natural beauty of the area. One of the standout features of the Whyalla Jetty is its striking architecture. It’s not just a functional structure but a visual masterpiece that stands out in the landscape. The innovative circular design, which is the only one of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, makes this jetty incredibly special. The thoughtful design also includes LED lighting along its length, which illuminates the jetty at night, adding to its charm and creating a magical atmosphere after dark. If you're exploring Whyalla, a visit to this jetty is a must. It’s not just about the views—it's about experiencing the peaceful atmosphere that the jetty offers. Whether you're looking to fish, take a leisurely walk, or simply sit and take in the surrounding beauty, the Whyalla Jetty is an ideal spot to unwind. It’s a place that beautifully combines nature, design, and the rich history of Whyalla, making it a top destination for locals and visitors alike.

Finally saw the new jetty. It is a lot taller than it appears from the photos and looks sturdy. The shape gives more jetty from the length restricted by the shipping channel. We did not see dolphins this time but there are nice views and we could do a loop walk.
