The rolling hills of the southern Mount Lofty Ranges form the backdrop to Aldinga Beach, a long curve of white sand facing Gulf St Vincent. One and a half kilometres off the coast is one of the state’s best diving spots – the Aldinga Drop Off, an underwater cliff where divers say the marine life has to be seen to be believed. The township – to the west of the original Aldinga, which grew as a small farming centre in the mid-1800s – is a popular holiday spot.
