Beaches

Our beautiful coastline extends over 31 kilometres from O’Sullivan Beach to Sellicks Beach.

The south coast attracts swimmers, surfers, divers and boaties. Notable dive spots include the Port Noarlunga reef and the Aldinga ‘Drop-off’. Our clear southern waters are home to many unique species of marine life such as the leafy sea dragon.

Aldinga Beach

Aldinga Beach is very wide, with firm sand allowing vehicles with a beach pass to access certain sections. A launching area gives easy access to the water.

Christies Beach

A great family beach with picnic area and a reef for divers to explore.

Maslin Beach

Maslin Beach is Australia’s first nudist beach. One of the coast’s prettiest sites, ‘Maslin’s’ features a protected cove, high cliff-face and long expanse of sand.

Moana

Moana is a popular beachside town for families to holiday at with their caravans and beach houses.

O'Sullivan Beach

Boat ramp, off-leash dog beach, good swimming and breakwaters providing protection for fishing boats and fish.

Port Noarlunga

The Port Noarlunga reef and aquatic reserve are recognised as a popular diving location; they also shelter the beach from large waves.

Port Willunga

It was at Port Willunga in 1888 that the sailing ship ‘Star of Greece’ was driven ashore during a fierce storm, with the loss of 11 of its crew. At low tide the wreck is often partly exposed and is a popular site for snorkellers and scuba divers to explore.

Seaford

Very popular with surfers, Seaford offers more than just waves. From the extensive walking/bicycle trail along the cliff tops, you’ll have a magnificent view of the coastline.

Sellicks Beach

This part of the coastline is renowned for its plentiful fishing and boat launching facilities.

South Port

South Port is popular for beach fishing and surfing. Regular surf lifesaving carnivals are also held at South Port.
