Local Towns

Victor Harbor

So much to see and do in this historic town. From eating ice cream watching the world pass by in the town square where you will find Artisan markets, art shows and so much more. 

The Crown and The Victor Harbour Hotels are both famous – a great meal available at both. 

Who can go past Granite Island – across the Causeway from the town square. Ride the Shetland Pony pulled train or take your time and walk.  Spend the day watching the waves, looking for seals, sealions and dolphins frolicking in the shallows. Walk the many trails and see where they take you. Enjoy lunch at the café on the island. 

If you’re looking for amazing views climb The Bluff and see the sweeping views of Victor Harbor and towards Waitpinga Beach. If you’re seeking to reconnect with nature, why not watch the water cascading down the rocks at Hindmarsh Falls? 

Port Elliot

Explore the idyllic seaside town of Port Elliot – home to postcard-worthy beaches, homewares shops, stylish cafes and chic, beachside cottages. Nestled on the coast between Victor Harbor and Middleton, Port Elliot is a popular holiday destination. Enjoy fish and chips whilst overlooking the amazing Horseshoe Bay, where you can dive of the jetty or swim out to the pontoon. 

Goolwa

Explore towering sand dunes, meander down quiet waterways and roam along snow-white sandy beaches.  With front row seats to epic sunsets over the Coorong, watch the pelicans and other abundance of wildlife. What better way to just relax and unwind.  Every odd-numbered year Goolwa hosts the wooden Boat Festival celebrating the town’s historic wharf, maritime history and its modern beach-side lifestyle. Goolwa markets are also located here and well worth a visit.
