According to the Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Water and Environment, the dolphin may have been following a school of fish into the shallow waters and became stuck when the tide changed.
While the it appears to be in good spirits, people are advised not to approach it.
SA National parks and Wildlife Service has been called and are working on helping get it back out to sea.
