[SECTION]Port Noarlunga All Year Round[/SECTION]



It may be a quaint seaside suburb but there is plenty to do in Port Noarlunga all year round. In days gone by Port Noarlunga acted as a sea port but today it is inhabited by permanent residents and is a popular holiday destination. Despite much development, it has managed to preserve its village-like charm.

The main attraction of Port Noarlunga is a beautiful beach. For this reason summer is the busiest (and debatably best) time of year to visit but the cooler months in historic Port Noarlunga can be equally charming. Below you will discover the best places to stay and eat and things to see and do.
