Beach Escape

Normanville & Yankalilla

Twin towns on the western Fleurieu: Normanville's broad sandy beach and jetty paired with Yankalilla's rural hinterland and historic shrine.

Normanville Beach

Only an hour from Adelaide, Normanville boasts one of the Fleurieu's longest, safest swimming beaches - a wide arc of white sand backed by dunes and a historic jetty. It is a favourite family destination for long beach walks, swimming and surf fishing.

Yankalilla

Just inland, the small rural town of Yankalilla is home to the Our Lady of Yankalilla shrine and several art galleries, cafés and an excellent bakery. The drive from Yankalilla through Second Valley to Cape Jervis is one of South Australia's great coastal road trips.
