Imagine yourself enjoying the evening sun setting over the ocean from the balcony of a cabin at the Christies Beach Tourist Park across the road from one of Adelaide’s popular southern swimming and body surfing beaches.

Here, the sea-lover will be able to partake in a diverse range of aquatic activities. You can swim, body surf, sail, snorkel, fish or simply relax on the beach.

Pass your time by watching waves break over the horseshoe reef straight out the front of the park. Maybe you’ll see some dolphins playing in the sun and surf.
