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.

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.

has a movie cinema with 5 theatres, ten pin bowling, ice-skating and
an indoor swimming pool.
