Aldinga Bay is a bay located on the east coast of Gulf St Vincent in South Australia about 40 kilometres (25 miles) south-southwest of Adelaide city centre.
Extent & description
[edit | edit source]Aldinga Bay lies between Snapper Point[note 1] in the suburb of Aldinga Beach at its northern extremity and the remains of Myponga Jetty[note 2] at Myponga Beach at its southern extremity.[3][4]
Ports and other settlements
