Eco-friendly activity

There are plenty of great swimming beaches along the peninsula. Victor Harbor has a plethora to choose from – including Kent Reserve and Dump Beach – but there is also Horseshoe Bay at Port Elliot, and the pristine white sand and calm waters of Normanville Beach, which is patrolled at weekends in summer. Carrickalinga and Lady Bay, near Normanville, are recommended if you want more secluded options. Maslin Beach is a nudist beach.
