Beaches

Stand at the sandy bottom of the breathtaking cliffs of the Great Australian Bight on the coast of South Australia. If you’ve ever wondered where those glossy photo’s of magnificent cliff faces next to the open ocean are taken, well, this is it. South Australia’s coast really does offer some of the most awe-inspiring views you’re ever likely to see. Oh, and you can go swimming there as well.

From Coorong National Park all the way to the Victorian border is the stretch of sand they call the Limestone Coast. Formed over millions of years, the natural beauty of the place is overwhelming. It’s a diver’s paradise, with a myriad of underground caves brimming with natural wonders. Above the surface the view’s not to shabby either, with great sweeping beaches and rugged shorelines to be taken in. It’s not somewhere you would want to forget the camera.

If you’d rather swim than sightsee, then you’re catered for too, as South Australia has many beaches that are perfect for swimming, as well as picturesque. Sink your toes into the soft white sands of the Fleurieu Peninsular. With far-reaching beaches that are the trademark of the South Australia coast, it’s the perfect place for a dip. Adelaide is also located on the coast, so there are many city beaches that are patrolled and are great places to take the family.
