Natural splendour, real musics, wines, wordpower
By car or bus, the pictured location is circa 45 kilometres south of Adelaide’s CBD.
If you avoid rush hours, a car trip from the heart of Adelaide to Aldinga Beach can take just 45 minutes.
Aldinga Beach is definitely not “just yet more of Adelaide’s dispiriting, seemingly never-ending sprawl”; it has well-protected natural bushland, a large number of resident ‘roos, reefs onto which one can walk, at low tide…and glorious beaches.

The previous post’s image was a wide-angle view of Aldinga Beach, taken from the beach itself, looking south, shortly before sunset on 20 January 2023.
This post’s “much closer view” was taken at 7. 51 pm on 21 January 2023.
I was standing on a stairway, above the beach, looking down and east, through a much longer (200 mm) lens.
The wind was more vigorous than it had been at the same hour on the previous day.

Most of the time, the drive south from Adelaide to Aldinga takes one hour or a little less than that.
Aldinga’s coast is a lovely combination of firm sand, safe swimming, inviting coastal reefs (upon which one can walk at low tide) and big vistas of sea, sky, and obviously-ancient hills.
Aldinga also offers interesting bush, and very easy access to the rest of the Fleurieu Peninsula’s many delights.
We have based ourselves there many times, and have often walked along the pictured beach.

At dusk, the sky over Aldinga Bay foreshadowed today’s unpleasantly hot weather.
When I downloaded this image, the cybergods surprised me, twice.
