Aldinga Beach is one of the few beaches in Australia where cars are permitted to drive on sections of the broad sand, making access to the beach especially easy. It is renowned for its safe swimming, expansive sandy areas and extremely family friendly which sees the population in the local area boom come summer. A little patch of seaside bliss less than an hour from Adelaide and mere minutes from McLaren Vale’s award-winning wineries. A popular year-round destination, Aldinga Beach is an underwater playground brimming with marine life and a rare reef formation awarding this stretch of coastline as one of Adelaide’s best dive spots. Trails at Aldinga Scrub Conservation Park take in dunes, rare orchids, echidna anteaters and birdlife, and nearby Thomas Street Reserve is a grassy seaside picnic spot. The relaxed dining scene consists of cafes, pubs, fish-and-chip shops and world class restaurants with incredible views. Wineries in the nearby McLaren Vale region offer tours and tastings. It is great to have a car for exploring the area and doing day trips to all the amazing places you can access easily from Aldinga Beach.
