Port Noarlunga Reef is an extensive reef system in South Australia that offers diving and snorkelling. It is broken into northern and southern sections that run parallel to the shore, with depths of about 5 metres on the inside, 8 metres on the outside and 10 metres in the gap between them.
The northern section and the gap are reached from the platform at the end of the jetty. The southern section is reached by a snorkel of about 100 metres from the beach opposite. The reef is full of marine plants and animals, and an aquatic trail with 12 markers starts next to the seaward end of the jetty and runs south along the inside of the reef, through the gap, and back north along the outside.
