Very nice view, would be much better if the council invest more in the area, needs more green areas.

I didn’t find the Port Adelaide Lighthouse spectacular at all. Maybe it’s also related to the odd vibe I got from the town itself: dead, deserted and the few people that were around looked rather strange.
Yes, it’s cheap for $ 1 but I wouldn’t say the view is great, nor did I find the lighthouse itself pretty from an architectural point of view. I’ve definitely seen tons of more interesting lighthouses in far more interesting locations.

Well, it’s no «Round The Twist» lighthouse, that’s for sure.
Take the kids, they’ll get enjoyment out of it. if you don’t have kids, well, save it for a rainy day when you can think of nothing more lovely than heading out to Port Adelaide for a lighthouse view. It is only $ 1 after all, don’t give it to the busker, save it for the lighthouse.
You could learn something.

You need to come here at least once, as it really is a great view and wint cost you an arm and a leg.
You’ll feel good about yourself because you’ve taken in a bit of local history and possibly learnt a few things you didn’t know about the area.

This place is one of those odd places that gets five stars, although you’d probably never ever give thought to rating it out of five outside of the context of Unilocal.But for the ratio of cost to enjoyment gained and time spent, this place is up there. I mean, a buck buys you a nice view, a very small amount of exercise and a bit of knowledge about local history.
You’ve got to come here at least once. It’s a nice view, it doesn’t cost much and it’ll keep the kids occupied for a very small amount of time.

Port Adelaide is one of those regions of South Australia that has a lot of history behind it. The rather well known lighthouse is a big part of that history.
The lighthouse is located right next to the Fisherman’s Wharf Markets and when you’ve been through the markets it’s worth paying the tiny fee of $ 1 (50c for kids) to climb up and have a look out over the city.
Personally, when I climbed up for the first time the main thing I noticed was how flat Adelaide really is, especially when compared to cities like Melbourne where a lot of walking up and down streets is required.
It’s not something you’ll want to be doing every week, as obviously it’s the same view every time. For the price though, you may as well go along and experience a piece of South Australian history.
