The historic Largs Bay Jetty was built in the early 1880s, originally extending around 640 metres into Gulf St Vincent as a landing for passengers, goods, and mail when large ships could not dock at Port Adelaide. From 1882 to around 1892, it was the main arrival point for many immigrants travelling to South Australia from Europe, with some spending their first nights at the adjacent Largs Pier Hotel. Shortened after severe storm damage in 1953, the jetty remains a popular spot for fishing, walking, and the perfect place to watch the sunset over the Gulf.
