Almonta Beach

Tucked away in the rather terrifyingly named Coffin Bay National Park, Almonta is one of those spectacular, life-altering beaches that'll stay with you for a very long time. It will cost you $11 to enter from National Parks and Wildlife Services (your money goes to wildlife conservation FYI) but unlike many other remote beaches in SA, you don't need a 4WD to get to this sparkly jewel of a beach. Once you get there, expect untouched wilderness, pristine water and blindingly white sand (you can also expect very little shade, so come prepared). Plus, if you like bougie seafood experiences, you can combine a paradisal trip to Almonta with an oyster farm tour. Heaven? Is that you?
