Port Elliot is a town in South Australia on the eastern end of the south coast of the Fleurieu Peninsula. It is situated on the sheltered Horseshoe Bay, a small bay off the much larger Encounter Bay. Port Elliot had a population of around 3098 in 2006, although along the coast it is now built up almost all the way to Victor Harbor. Today, Port Elliot is a quiet village with two hotels, three churches, eight coffee shops, no fast food chains, and is a popular holiday destination close enough to Adelaide for day trips.
