The drive to Normanville just got quicker. 🚗🌊

Thanks to the new Main South Road upgrade, getting to the coast is now faster and easier than ever. More time at the beach, less time on the road.

It’s great news for Normanville real estate too as it makes holiday homes, weekend escapes and coastal living even more appealing for buyers looking to stay connected to the city.

Normanville Jetty Reopens & Pontoon Back in the Water! 🏖🫶

The jetty has officially reopened AND the much-loved pontoon is back in the water... just in time for the school holidays.

After months of closure following storm damage, it was fantastic to see the jetty reopen. Thank you to everyone for your patience and to SA Infrastructure and Transport, Southern Marine Resources and our staff for getting it ready for summer.

The pontoon was also reinstalled after repairs to a damaged flotation element. A huge thank you to Belgravia, Forktree Brewing, Chief Catering and Aqua Blue for their generous contributions and to the Normanville Surf Life Saving Club for assisting with the reinstallation.

With crystal-clear water and warm weather incoming, the Normanville Foreshore is absolutely the place to be!

Enjoy the sunshine and enjoy having two summer favourites back at the beach! ☺️

Rapid Bay is famous for its turquoise water, towering limestone cliffs, and long sandy beach. It’s one of the best spots on the Fleurieu Peninsula for swimming and snorkelling.

Highlights
• Twin jetties – The old jetty is iconic for photos; the new jetty is perfect for fishing and exploring marine life.
• Incredible snorkelling – Home to leafy sea dragons, schools of fish, and kelp forests.
• Scenic cliffs – The backdrop of dramatic limestone cliffs gives the bay its signature look.
• Calm, clear water – Great for families on most days.
• Camping by the beach – One of SA’s most popular waterfront campgrounds (Rapid Bay Campground).

🏕 Camping Info
• Location: At the southern end of the beach.
• Facilities: Toilets, some shelters, no powered sites.
• Perfect for: Kayaking, early-morning swims, star gazing (the nights are incredibly dark and clear).

From the hilltop lookout as you descend into Rapid Bay the view is insane. On the new jetty, looking back to the cliffs at sunset the cliffs glow orange.
