Kingston, located on the Southern Ocean coastline, is a historic coastal port sheltered by Cape Jaffa. The district is flat and low-lying, with some areas of untouched Mallee scrub. Kingston is well known for its lobster and other seafood catches. Appropriately, the town mascot is a 17 metre sculptured lobster, affectionately named Larry by the locals. The four tonne sculpture can be found poised above a seafood restaurant and gift shop located at the town entrance. Kingston was established in 1858. The quality of its harbour was valued by primary producers, the majority of which were sheep and wheat farmers. The Cooke brothers where very influential in the construction of a railway line between Naracoorte and Kingston which originally connected to Kingston’s three quarter of a mile long jetty. Visitors to Kingston can find short-term parking at Kingston S.E RV Park, located on Marine Pde, for $20 per vehicle per two nights (6 day max). Ticket machine located on-site.  A dump point and potable water can be found at Railway Terrace (past the water tower). Kingston is a wonderful place to visit, especially for RV travellers, with the town ideal for those who are attracted to the relaxed nature of this coastal town. The calm waters and long soft sandy beaches of Lacapede Bay lend themselves to gentle water activities and fishing opportunities. You will find several seaside sculptures around town including an analemmatic sundial, the second in Australia and one of only eight in the world. The bay is overlooked by the historical Cape Jaffa Lighthouse which was resurrected upon the Kingston foreshore after servicing the shipping community of Cape Jaffa in its original position, out to sea, on the Margaret Brock Reef. Tourist/Visitor Centre       Council Office & VIC, 29 Holland St, Ph: 08 8767 2036 or 08 8767 2033 (Council Office)vio@kingstondc.sa.gov.auwww.kingstonse.com.auCasual Parking       Hanson St; Holland St; Agnes StShort Term Parking           Kingston S.E RV Park, Marine Pde, $20 per vehicle per two nights (6 day max), ticket machine on site; Pinks Beach, Pinks Beach Rd, (24hr)Dump Point  Next to Kingston S.E RV Park, Marine PdePotable Water          Kingston S.E RV Park, Marine PdeHospital        Young St, Ph: 08 8767 0222Doctors Surgery     89 Agnes St, Ph: 08 8767 2024 (GP & various specialist services, open Mon-Fri 9am-5pm)Pharmacy     Kingston Pharmacy, 17 Agnes St, Ph: 08 8767 2119Supermarket            Kingston IGA, 32 Holland St, Ph: 08 8767 2020; Kingston Foodland, 2 Hanson St, Ph: 08 8767 2204
