Ceduna Wharf (often called Ceduna Jetty) stretches 368 metres into the sheltered waters of Murat Bay on South Australia's remote Eyre Peninsula. This historic screw-pile jetty offers easy shore-based snorkeling over sandy seafloor with scattered limestone rubble, where divers and snorkelers spot cuttlefish, rays, squid, and small reef fish in depths up to 7 metres. The wharf's pylons are encrusted with sponge and weed growth, attracting juvenile fish and making it a convenient muck-dive style snorkel right off the main Ceduna foreshore.

Low risk: Fishing lines and hooks
Active fishing jetty — submerged fishing line, hooks, and sinkers pose entanglement and snagging risks.
Low risk: Strong southerly winds
When the wind picks up from the south, exposed sections of the jetty become choppy with reduced visibility.
Low risk: Boats and boat ramp traffic
Adjacent boat ramp and marina mean vessel traffic near the jetty, especially during peak fishing seasons.
