Lighthouse Bay

Lighthouse Bay in Carpenter Rocks, SA, offers a prime fishing experience from its rugged rock wall and the adjacent beach. The surf beach environment attracts a variety of species, making it a popular spot for targeting Australian Salmon, Snapper, and King George Whiting. Anglers can also find Gummy Sharks, Garfish, and Tommy Ruff lurking in the waters, particularly during calm conditions. The best times to cast a line here are at dawn, dusk, or under the cover of night when the fish are most active. However, be mindful of the slippery rocks and wave wash that can pose hazards on the rock platform—it's wise to check swell height before your visit. With the right conditions and a bit of patience, you may reel in an impressive catch in this beautiful coastal setting.
