Port Noarlunga, Coastal suburb in City of Onkaparinga, Australia.

Port Noarlunga extends along the Gulf St Vincent coastline, featuring a natural reef that stretches 1.6 kilometers parallel to the shore.

The area transformed from a whaling station established in 1841 to a vital port, with the current jetty constructed in 1921 after storms destroyed the original structure.

The Kaurna people named this region Tainbarang, recognizing the spiritual importance of the local freshwater spring created by their ancestor Tjilbruke.

The Port Noarlunga Aquatic Centre provides water safety education and sports training to primary school students in the region since 1976.

The Port Noarlunga Reef Aquatic Reserve protects 527 hectares of marine ecosystem, including the reef and adjacent estuary established in 1971.
