You can change between standard map view and satellite map view by clicking the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. You can use the zoom buttons on the lower right side of the map to zoom in or out to street-level detail.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets — plus a labelled MGA grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Seacliff, South Australia, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views.

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Geoscience Australia National Base Map — seamless topographic mapping covering the mainland, Tasmania and the external territories. NATMAP 250K shows the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 map sheets, mosaicked nationwide — the printed sheets generations of Australians navigated the outback with. The search box finds any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Seacliff.
Reading the map like a paper sheet. Click Grid to overlay the Map Grid of Australia (MGA), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as an MGA grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what emergency services and search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load, which across much of inland Australia is most of the time.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Seacliff unfolds along the gentle curve of the coastline, a place where the land surrenders to the sea with a sigh of sand and scrub. It lies 9.5 km north of Morphett Vale, SA (from Morphett Vale, SA: bearing 356°T), and is situated 14.2 km south-south-west of Adelaide. The air here carries the sharp, clean scent of salt, a constant reminder of the vast blue expanse that defines its western edge. Low, undulating hills, cloaked in a hardy native vegetation that clings tenaciously to the sandy soil, rise behind the coastal strip. These hills, softened by the hazy South Australian sun, offer glimpses of the ocean through their sparse cover, framing the horizon with a subtle, earthy palette. The light at dusk often paints the sky in hues of apricot and rose, the colours bleeding into the western sea, creating a quiet, reflective mood that settles over Seacliff like a soft blanket.
Seacliff carries the echoes of a past shaped by the sea and its bounty. Once, fishing boats would have been a common sight in its sheltered waters, their catches feeding the burgeoning settlements further inland. Though the large-scale fishing fleets have largely moved on, a spirit of maritime connection persists, evident in the weathered jetties and the occasional keen angler casting a line from the shore. The local economy, while now more diversified with a strong reliance on tourism and the steady hum of residential life, still draws sustenance from the coastal environment, with beachside cafes and small businesses catering to those drawn by the allure of the sea. The distinctive character of Seacliff lies in this blend of coastal serenity and a quiet, understated resilience, a place that has adapted to changing times while holding fast to its inherent connection with the ocean.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name; offers Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets as base layers; overlays a labelled Map Grid of Australia (MGA) so the map can be read like a printed topographic sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as an MGA grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from Geoscape Administrative Boundaries (GDA2020) and enriched with GeoNames and Australian Bureau of Statistics data, matched by coordinate proximity — ensuring the correct Seacliff is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
