An idyllic coastal retreat framed by sandy beaches, vineyards, and golden sea cliffs.
With its gold-hued sea cliffs and long stretches of white sand, Port Willunga is one of South Australia’s most photogenic beaches, peppered with man-made caves and scenic viewpoints. For the best views, follow the Route 31 Coastal Drive from O'Sullivan Beach to Sellicks Beach, a 31-kilometre route that passes Port Willunga and includes some thrilling beach drives (4WDs only!). Set between the Fleurieu Peninsula and the McLaren Vale wine region, Port Willunga is the ideal basecamp for camping trips featuring wine-tasting, hiking, and wildlife-watching excursions. There’s plenty to keep you busy in town, too, whether swimming, snorkelling, and fishing along the beach or diving the famous Port Willunga shipwreck. Campers will find plenty of spots to pitch a tent or park a caravan in Port Willunga or neighbouring Aldinga Beach. Opt for a holiday park with powered sites and full amenities, rent a furnished cabin, or go glamping in a treehouse or bell tent.
