Port Elliot is a seaside playground with an endless array of activities from cycling to swimming, whale watching to shopping, there is something for everyone. Whale watching is popular from the many high vantage points of the coast near Port Elliot.

Many visitors to Port Elliot spend the majority of their time at the beach and Horseshoe Bay is the most popular being a secluded, protected beach, moments from the centre of town, the beach is perfect for swimming and fishing. Nearby Basham Beach and Middleton Beach are also great spots and to the west, the beaches of Encounter Bay and Victor Harbor offer more choice still. Otherwise, wander along The Strand, a beachside strip featuring arts and crafts shops and cafes and relax with a coffee as you watch the Southern Ocean. Or maybe take the historic Cockle Steam Train to Goolwa.

History of Port Elliot

Port Elliot was first settled in the 1880's as a port to transfer goods from the Murray River to ocean going ships. In 1854 a railway line, one of Australia's first, was constructed between Port Elliot and the Murray at Goolwa. The town thrived until the port was moved to Victor Harbor and Port Elliot became a sleepy tourist hamlet, focused on tourism and as a popular spot for retirees from Adelaide. The town is named after Charles Elliot, the Governor of Bermuda who was a friend of the South Australian Governor, Sir Henry Young who served as Governor between 1848 and 1854.
