Karen's Guidebook
Neighborhoods
1) unbeatable scenery:
- huge rocky, sandy, colourful (geologically spectacular) cliffs
- world class outlook over ocean
- Washpool, one of the last remaining coastal wetlands of its type along Adelaide coastline
- Aldinga Reef, (arguably) one of Australia’s best diving sites
- sandy white beaches unlike metropolitan beaches, drive-on experience
2) unwind and reconnect:
- leave the fast paced lifestyle and embrace the calming, slower pace that Aldinga and surrounds bring. Reconnect with nature (Aldinga Scrub, Washpool, Coastal walking/cycling trails, kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, plenty of sunshine), and replenish your body with an abundance of options for fine wine and local food. Why not try beachside yoga at sunrise? (if still going?)
3) immerse in environment, culture and history:
- undertake Star of Greece trail (Port Willunga, Aldinga Library, Willunga Courthouse and Museum)
- visit Old Coach Road and Aldinga Eco Village, featuring point of difference and eco-friendly businesses
- Aldinga Reef, Scrub, Washpool, Coastal walks, rockpools
- Hooded Plover bird breeding area
- stay in historic properties
4) location:
- only 50 minutes from CBD
- minutes from world leading wine region McLaren Vale
- world class scenery (unrivalled ocean views, spectacular views of Willunga range of hills)
