Getting there

Walking

If you're starting from the Kingscote Visitor Information Centre, head southwest on Dauncey Street towards the foreshore. Continue straight until you reach the waterfront, where you'll see the stunning views of the bay. From here, turn left onto the path that follows the coastline. You will walk along the water's edge, enjoying the scenery. Keep walking for about 15 to 20 minutes until you reach the Old Jetty at Kingscote. The jetty is a prominent feature and hard to miss as you approach.

Bicycle

Begin at the Kingscote town center where bike rentals are available. Head towards the foreshore along Dauncey Street. Take the bike path that runs parallel to the water. Continue along this path, which is well-marked and safe for cyclists. It will take about 10 to 15 minutes to reach the Old Jetty. Enjoy the coastal views as you ride!

While Kingscote has limited public transport options, check for local bus services that may run close to the Old Jetty. If you are at the Kingscote Visitor Information Centre, ask the staff for the latest bus schedules or any shuttle services available to the jetty.
