Parts of the beach along the North Esplanade were closed to the public as crime investigators photographed the area.

A bright orange SES tent shielded the body from public view as police, including officers from the water investigation branch, investigated.

Investigators and detectives have since left the beach, and the body was removed by the coroner.

SA Police have since confirmed the death was not suspicious.
