Port Elliot: A Beach Escape from Adelaide

Quaint and quiet.

During our last few days in Adelaide, Mike and I felt satisfied with what we’d seen in the city, but wanted to check out a little more of the surrounding area. We decided to visit Port Elliot as a day trip. We didn’t know what to expect from the seaside town of 1,800 residents, but we were definitely pleased.


Port Elliot is small, quiet, pleasant, and pretty. There are only a handful of businesses and I suspect the locals like it that way. Not much was happening in town during our visit. The chip shop was empty, the other shops closed, and the cashier at the grocery had plenty of time to chat.

The cutest building I’ve ever seen.

I dispute the wifi reference, but love all the rest. “Kiss me, Ketut.”

I’d love to live in a tiny town like Port Elliot, at least for a short little while. Quaint and quiet but close enough to a city for when I crave a little excitement. All in all, a highly recommended day trip if you’re in the Adelaide area.

  1. That council chamber building doesn’t even look real! It looks like something off of an olde tyme movie set!

    • I know! I wonder if the early townspeople were thinking the town would ever grow larger. That building looks like it would be cramped with more than 5 people inside.
