North Haven beach is the product of a major redevelopment of the northern part of the Adelaide coast. In the 1980’s North Haven Marina development excavated a large marina behind the beach, with two breakwaters to protect the entrance. The North Haven Beach which is 1.2 km long beach is wedged between the two breakwaters and has been slowly building seaward. The beach faces southwest, and is composed of fine sand, which together with the low waves, usually less than 0.5 m, produced a wide, flat firm beach, and wide shallow bar attached to the beach.
