The Causeway at Victor Harbor was constructed in 1867 from the existing pier adjacent to the railway station.

A deeper swimming area was built between the causeway and spur in 1899. The baths had a shark proof fence around them. By 1905 the baths were so popular that accommodation was added, with changing rooms and an entrance fee of threepence. The baths were demolished in 1955 following a severe storm.
