Semaphore

Discover Semaphore: the ultimate destination for fun in the sun

Just 20 minutes from Adelaide’s CBD, the seaside town of Semaphore is a summer-loving paradise known for its sandy beaches, vibrant foreshore and chic cafes. Fun in the sun is a way of life around this neck of the woods; spend your days lounging on sandy white shores, plunging into turquoise waters or exploring the expansive foreshore where you’ll find a waterslide, mini golf and merry-go-round. For the ultimate view of the Adelaide City Coastline, get your adrenaline pumping with Semaphore re Coastal Skydive. The picturesque foreshore and boulevard are also dotted with beautifully preserved Art Deco buildings and the Palais Hotel takes centre-stage; the perfect spot to grab a pub-style lunch or enjoy a glass of wine. Just metres away, Semaphore Road is bordered by historic pubs, restaurants and boutiques.
