The Ultimate Port Elliot Picnic: 5 Must-Have Local Bites
Planning a day at Horseshoe Bay or a sunset session at Freeman Lookout? While Port Elliot is famous for its views, a great beach day is only as good as the snacks you pack.
At The Jetty Food Store, we’ve curated a list of the 5 essential local items you need to build the perfect, coastal spread for your Fleurieu visit.
1. Barista-Made Beach Organics Coffee
Nothing starts a Fleurieu morning like a proper brew. We serve Beach Organics Coffee, roasted with a focus on sustainability and flavor. Whether you’re after a silky Piccolo, a refreshing Iced Latte for a hot day, or a classic, frothy Cappuccino, our baristas have you covered.
Pro Tip: Bring your own reusable cup to keep the beach clean!
2. Local Sourdough & Gluten-Free Loaves
A picnic is only as good as its base. We stock fresh, Sourdough from local Fleurieu bakers.
Inclusive Eating: We know how hard it can be to find quality GF options on the road. We stock premium Gluten-Free bread (and sweet things!) that actually tastes like the real deal, ensuring everyone at the picnic is catered for.
3. Fresh, Hydrating Summer Fruits
When the sun is out at Port Elliot, you need snacks that hydrate. Our shelves are stocked with seasonal staples:
Watermelon: For the ultimate refreshing beach snack.
Apples: Local, crisp, and perfect for pairing with cheese.
4. The "Crunch Factor": Fresh Veg & Crackers
Forget the bags of oily chips. For a gourmet platter, head to our produce section:
The Dippers: Grab some of our local Carrots and Cucumbers to slice into batons.
The Crunch: Pair them with our range of artisan crackers and locally-made dips for a healthy, satisfying crunch while you watch the waves.
5. Fleurieu Milk (On Tap & Plastic-Free!)
Forgot the milk for your morning tea or the kids' drinks? We do things differently here. We offer Fleurieu Milk on tap, allowing you to fill up a glass bottle and skip the single-use plastic. It’s creamy, local, and better for the planet.
