South of Adelaide, the Fleurieu Peninsula is a diverse coastal region where vineyards and rolling farmland meet sandy beaches, sheltered bays and rugged headlands. Seaside communities such as Victor Harbor, Port Elliot, Normanville and Goolwa provide access to scenic drives, coastal walks, surfing and wildlife experiences, while the McLaren Vale area is known for its wineries and local food. National parks and sweeping ocean viewpoints add to the peninsula’s blend of countryside and coast.
