Port Willunga Jetty The first jetty was an extension of port road, the second jetty extended nearly 200m into the gulf. In 1914 a vessel named Tempest tore a hole in the jetty, too expensive to rebuild, all that remains of the jetty today are the picturesque pylons, like giant black weathered matchsticks forming a cluster at the water's edge reminding residents and holiday goers of the past use of Port Willunga and the might of the sea.
