If you are a local and spend most of your time around the Adelaide metropolitan beaches then you could be excused for thinking we are looking south.

Many Adelaide visitors make this mistake and then wonder why they can’t enjoy the sunset here. This view is looking west and now that we are heading into summer the sun will still descend behind the headland.

I don’t usually make the effort to explore the coastline around Rapid Bay, at least not above the the waterline. I plan to do it more often.
