The reef at Noarlunga.....

[Guest lastboyscout]

is it easy to find as I`m taking my daughter down there on Friday to do a bit of snorkeling?

 

Is it worth a 100km round trip?

[Guest katsmajic]

I think noarlunga beach/reef is beautiful...a friend of ours travels from Mawson Lakes for her fix of it, dont know if thats further than you or not but its a fair old trip for her...but well worth it.

[Guest graandjac]

;)You cant miss it,at Port Noarlunga roundabout turn right (if heading south) keep going for 1km and there it is right behind the jetty, a great beach for kids as the reef breaks the waves, enjoy your trip.

 

PS treat yourself to fish and chips in the chippy opposite the surf shop .......the best ever

oh yes absolute must - we are regulars in there now !

The beach is lovely but as Tyke says gets busy on the hols. If you have kids, it's a lovely place for them to have a dip as the water is so clear and often fairly calm depending on the tide...maybe check out the tide times if you can as it will be much nicer if the tide's out.

 

The reef itself I have not yet ventured to but the last time I was there, saw loads of scuba divers heading along the jetty towards it, so it must be well worth a butchers.

My girls have seen shoals of tiny fish in the very shallow water near the beach...a snorkel and mask are a must for the littlies!

I`ll put my villa top on top of the tent so you`ll know its us

 

 

Either that or animal welfare will be trying to push me back in the sea

 

And if you don`t spot the Villa top just look for someone with half finished wings tattooed on his shoulders

Those sharks they are getting more and more selective about what thay steal.

 

Glad you had a good day.......i know its a bit late but be careful in the lil rock pools down there...Blue Ringed Octopus have been known to hang around down there.

[ozzieclare2be]

its a shame when its choppy, hopefully next time will be a bit calmer for you. I love it down there

[Guest guest569]

Great to meet up today .:)Shame about all the waves spoiling the snorkeling. Have to do it again on a calmer day next time your down this way.

[Guest lastboyscout]

No worries

 

Got to find a decent scuba shop now to get some replacements

[Guest guest569]

The one at port noarlunga was a good one. We have some from the UK That are EXCELLENT. We needed 2 more for kids and this guy got some in for us the same.
