Carrickalinga Beach

Reviewed By michibaby - Reynella, Australia

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 ????

It has been and will always be our favorite holiday getaway. A serene place to relax at the beach house, and get down to the beach to swim, kayak or fish. There are wallabies in the bushes and often come out to gawk at the visitors. Cute!

What a great beach for just driving to and then relaxing. The entry on to the beach is reasonably soft, so requires 4WD. Fishing and surfing would be a popular activity for this beach. Exiting the beach requires a bit of effort.

Horseshoe Bay

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.

Great seaside town. Good cafes and restaurants - don’t forget to book they get busy during summer. You can order amazing fresh lobster at the pub if you tell them what size you want the day before your booking. Long beach is amazing - drive your car onto the beach and settle in for the day. The Main Street has a few women’s clothing and gift shops that meet retail therapy needs.
