Port Hughes, only two hours away from Adelaide, is a picturesque coastal town with pristine beaches, clear blue green water, and fantastic jetty with great fishing. Ideally located only minutes away from Moonta and Kadina, Port Hughes has one of the prettiest beaches in the northern Yorke Peninsula. The jetty is very popular with fisherman and there are plenty of deep-sea charters to choose from.

Port Hughes was surveyed in 1863 and was named after Sir Watson Hughes, who is one of the founders of the University of Adelaide.

The waters around Port Hughes are clear and calm, and are perfect for families, boating and water sports. Port Hughes is one of the many towns on the peninsula that has a large amount of development going on.

Enjoy jetty or boat fishing, safe swimming and other water sports, or take a stroll along South Beach towards Cape Elizabeth.
