Port Elliot, Historical coastal settlement on Horseshoe Bay, Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia.
The coastal town spreads along the eastern end of Fleurieu Peninsula, featuring multiple coffee shops, hotels, and three churches within walking distance.
The area, initially called Freeman's Knob, served as a lookout post for whaling operations before its establishment as Port Elliot in 1852.
Port Elliot Historical Museum presents extensive collections of regional items, including fashions from 1788 to 1956 and dairy industry artifacts.
Visitors can explore 30 historical locations through designated walking routes, marked as Red Walk and Blue Walk throughout the town.
The first public railway in Australia connected Port Elliot to Goolwa in 1854, transporting goods and passengers between the two locations.
