Port Wilunga is a growing coastal settlement spread for 1.5 km along the low bluff that runs north of Snapper Point, to a small creek that drains across the beach. A road runs along the top of the bluff to a large car park and caravan park on the south side of the creek, which provides the best access to the beach (Fig. 4.49). The beach (217) extends for 1.5 km from Snapper Point past the creek to a 15 m high, reef fronted, bluff that extends across the high tide beach. In the south it is fronted by a 100 m wide intertidal reef flat, then the ruins of the old port jetty and finally a natural sand beach which usually has an attached bar cut by one to two rips.
Beach Length: 1.5km
