Carrickalinga Beach

With a name this fun to say, you know you're in for a good time. Carrickalinga is a lesser-known beachy gem on South Australia's coast that is about one hour's drive away from Adelaide. Famous for its heart-shaped rockpools and crystalline waters, this is a quiet, family-friendly beach that has an abundance of pure white sand, space and pristine natural wilderness. With a 1.4 kilometre stretch of sand for beach walking, calm waters for kayaking, and oodles of opportunities for snorkelling, this little secret is one you should know.
