Some Favourite Spots
An Australian top ten beach with everything for children and adults. Once at the car park, walk to the hillside and through the cave. On a South Wind day the surf area can be sublime. On North winds the Rock Pool is big with sandy bottom and depth and is sheltered and calm.

Go on a Northerly to enjoy a swim in perfect small surf. Experienced swimmers only. Otherwise go for the view and walk.

Sheltered on typical southerly winds, this massive sandy beach with never ending shallow sandy swimming is home to Adelaide's elite holiday houses. I sold my land there to upgrade to Stokes though ;-)

Seal Bay
See the Seals before they get eaten by Great Whites
North coast. "Snellings" actually. 15-20 minute drive from the house opposite direction of Stokes Bay but smae coast line. Bigger beach with vehicle access at times. Surfing and calm areas.

An incredible secret next door to Seal Bay. You may see a seal. The pictured cave and beautiful pool is to the right of the car park. Worth the walk.
