Despite being a long weekend where we were blessed with perfect beach weather, this stunning beach was not too crowded. I just loved the untouched scenery and landscape. The sand is soft, the water so clear, and there’s a sand bar so it stays nice and shallow for the little ones. Rocky outcrops for rock pooling. This beach had every little scrap of nature covered and we stayed all day. Perfection ????

The area offers so much. The beach is beautiful and provides opportunity for swimming, boogie boards, surfing for different ability levels. With the outlet from the Onkaparinka there it is ideal for young children as well. Access by the boardwalk is easy and has lovely views.

Horseshoe Bay is a protected swimming beach which is very popular with families during the summer holidays. You can fish from the Jetty, watch the kids play in the playground or go for a swim in this sheltered bay. Why not follow the rugged cliff around the coast and explore the little bays and beaches. Horseshoe Bay has been a favoured destination for visitors to the Fleurieu Peninsula for a long time come and experience this very popular destination. During the months from June - October each year the cliffs surrounding Horseshoe Bay provide a great vantage point for spotting Southern Wright Whales as the protected coastal waters become a whale nursery. Or you may spot Seals and Dolphins in the protected bay while enjoying a picnic or riding along the Encounter Bikeway that passes through Horseshoe Bay. The historic township of Port Elliot is situated on the coastline between the towns of Victor Harbor and Middleton. While your in Port Elliot take the time to explore The Strand area with its many historic buildings, cafes, restaurants and shops.

The 1st official nudist beach in Australia (good on ya SA). The stark cliffs and curving bay make this a unique beach. Clearly signed 'nude' bathing areas, and plenty of space for 'non-nude' beach-goers. Definitely worth a look! An easy drive from Adelaide, and accessible by Metro too.

This wild, untamed, magnificent coastal region, is within 11 km driving distance from Victor Harbor. This is a patrolled conservation park where one can enjoy bird watching e.g. migrating Terns on the shore; kangaroos just inland around the camping area. Fishermen do occasionally try their luck, but the surf is very dangerous and swimming is definitely not advised. Peaceful and quiet.

Walked from the Cobbler Hill car park down the 4WD track, the track is quite rugged so good walking boots are recommended, Saw lots of kangeroos. The view is stunning, can see Kangeroo Island, The waves and rip looked strong, maybe not good for swimming. Saw some people fishing. Walked back up the other track, its very steep, but not overly hard if you are already fairly fit, gets the heart beating!! Overall 5.4km took 1 hour 15 mins, including a short stroll on the beach.
