Carrickalinga & Normanville

[Guest Guest75]

What a lovely area around Carrickalinga and Normanville.

The beaches and views are something else.

If you have not been - GO!

 

If you've not been for ages - GO!

 

That place does something to your soul

It takes us 40 mins to get there from Onkaparinga Hills (near Morphett Vale)Well worth the drive as there is some stunning scenery along the way :)

You'd be looking at around 1.5 hours ish - as I say well worth it.call into Wirrina Cove,Rapid Bay ,Second Valley and pop down to Cape Jervis - make a day of it!

We went down to Normanville for lunch one day, from here in the North East - there's a lovely little cafe/restaurant overlooking the beach there (or used to be, not been for a while!) - Quite a drive, yes, but a nice one to do with visitors, or take a tent and camp down there, make a weekend of it.

We went there a few weeks back. Had a beer at the cafe on the beach.

Then went to Wirrina cove. The boat ramp and car park was completely empty.

Me thinks it might be worth dragging the boat down there:idea: What do you think Russ?

Looks tempting - some Sea Rescue coverage as well.

 

BUT..........

 

It's a different sea down there - more swell + loads more wind. Pick a really calm day!

 

PS - no bloody wash down facilities - same ramp fee !:mad:

Shhhh!!! - Don't tell everyone about it!

 

You can still sometimes get the beach to yourself ;)

[Guest nishman]

Shhhhh - don't tell everyone about it! That's our escape beach when we don't fancy the "crowds" at Moana

It's not a "Which beach is best" thread!

 

Mind you Normanville / Carrickalinga are hard to beat :p

[Guest sjs]

Glad I came on tonight - my friend Sue told us about this place - have been to Second Valley but not these beaches - will head down tomorrow I think!

[Guest Delaneym]

i went to yankalilla and normanville by pure chance, made some good friends and having watched the sunrise and sunsets i fell in love with australia.....

There's a great bakery at Normanville too. Deep Creek Conservation park isn't too far away - it's a huge area, lot of walks and camping spots allowed. I took some visiting family in July one year and I am not kidding there were all these "lounge about" kangaroos littered everywhere looking quite relaxed. Also lots and lots of lillys - a very scenic spot. Some areas are 4WD access only - can be steep but quite a lot is accessible.
