Carrickalinga, South Australia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carrickalinga is a small coastal town about 60 km south of Adelaide on the Fleurieu Peninsula overlooking the Gulf St. Vincent. No shops have been allowed in Carrickalinga to spoil its relaxing beachside atmosphere. However, full shopping facilities exist in the township of Normanville, only 1 km away.
Carrickalinga is in the vicinity of several emerging wineries. It is only a 30 minute drive to Victor Harbor where whale watching has become a popular pastime. Views of Kangaroo Island can be seen from nearby Cape Jervis.
The beaches are wide with beautiful white sand that stretches down to the pristine water. Haycock Point, a much-photographed volcanic outcrop, separates North Carrickalinga and South Carrickalinga beaches.
Tjilbruke's trail follows the coastline through Carrickalinga.
