Sightseeing
Maslins Beach (there is a nude beach to the south, but to the north it’s a gorgeous family friendly beach with playground).
Also recommended are Aldinga Beach and the iconic Silver Sands at Sellicks Beach all within a short 20-30 minute drive. These three beaches all allow car access, so you can park on the sand.
