Port Broughton

Port Broughton is ideally situated on the upper most end of the peninsula, close to the Southern Flinders Ranges, Clare Valley wineries and the Copper Coast, making it a great base to visit a number of different regions.

A popular seaside town, Port Broughton is a relaxing place to idle away time watching pelicans, dolphins or magnificent sunsets.

The eight Nharangga Totem Poles designed by artist Linda Turner on Port Broughton’s foreshore near the jetty, represent the four traditional clans and totems of the Nharangga people (The female red kangaroo, emu, eagle and shark). The artwork marks the entrance to the Wawi Buldu Walking Trail and celebrates the cultural heritage of the region. 

As you would expect from a South Australian fishing port, the seafood is plentiful and Port Broughton has an enviable reputation as one of Australia's premier fishing locations. 

The free boat launching facilities at Port Broughton are excellent, with dual lane, twin boarding pontoons providing all tide access. Or for some great fishing action, why not head offshore with a local fishing charter?

Established by the Barunga West Art Committee, Gallery 1871 is an art space available for hire where artists can exhibit their collections and hold art workshops for adults and children.

Port Broughton was named as South Australia's Tiny Tourism Town for 2023 and its strong community spirit is on display through a calendar of local events and festivals. Seafood on Spencer showcases the region's local fishing industry and seafood, while the quirky Port Broughton Rubber Duck Race is held annually,  along with Christmas and New Year festivities.
