Fleurieu Penninsula attractions







	Attractions Local (don't miss our useful links at the bottom of this page) 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. Above: looking south towards Port Noarlunga. Above right: looking north towards Port Stanvac. 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. Our Park is within walking distance (500m) of a cafe with a very popular indoor adventure playground (ages 1-10. Play’n'Fun – an entry fee applies). Alternatively, a large FREE outdoor community adventure playground (ages 4-12) is on the banks of the Onkaparinga estuary 3km away at Port Noarlunga. Only 2km away, the Port Noarlunga jetty and Onkaparinga Mouth estuary are popular fishing spots. An all-weather boat ramp is just 5km away at O'Sullivans Beach. For the snorkelling or diving enthusiast, the Port Noarlunga Reef – which is directly accessible from the end of the jetty and visible at low tide – is a must to discover. Within 3km is the Noarlunga Leisure & Entertainment Centre which has a movie cinema with 5 theatres, ten pin bowling, ice-skating and an indoor swimming pool.
