Explore Seaton, South Australia, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Seaton, SA map and move it around to re-centre it. 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 Seaton, South Australia, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
Drag the map to pan to any area of South Australia or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Seaton and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
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 Seaton.
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.

Seaton unfolds as a coastal fringe, where the land gently slopes towards the sea, its character shaped by the persistent caress of the ocean breeze. It lies 8.7 km west-north-west of Adelaide, SA (from Adelaide, SA: bearing 295°T), and is situated 7.3 km west of Prospect. The terrain here is relatively flat, a pale ochre soil that crumbles easily underfoot, giving way to hardy coastal scrub and pockets of saltbush that shimmer with a silvery sheen under the South Australian sun. The air, especially in the late afternoon, carries a faint, briny tang, a constant reminder of the water's proximity, and the light often takes on a soft, diffused quality, softening the edges of the low-lying buildings. The very texture of the place feels porous, as if the land itself is breathing in the sea air and exhaling a quiet resilience.
Historically, Seaton's story is entwined with the agricultural pursuits that once defined this stretch of coastline, with early settlers carving out livelihoods from the sometimes-stubborn earth. Though the dominant economic forces have shifted, a quiet hum of local commerce persists, catering to both residents and the occasional traveller drawn to its unpretentious charm. The area’s proximity to a significant harbour, though not directly within Seaton itself, has always influenced its development, offering a gateway for trade and a connection to the wider world. While not a place of grand pronouncements, Seaton holds its own distinct character, a subtle blend of coastal exposure and a grounded sense of place that has endured through the years.

Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while an editorially written description provides background on Seaton, in the City Of Charles Sturt local government area.
Detailed location data for Seaton includes the postcode (5023), telephone area code (08), and local government area (City Of Charles Sturt), with an ABS remoteness classification of Major Cities of Australia. These are among the most commonly searched location details for any Australian city, town or locality.
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 Seaton is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
