Just a 40-minute drive out of Adelaide, Fleurieu Peninsula is South Australia’s coastal paradise and the perfect holiday destination for those wanting to escape the city.

The smallest peninsula in South Australia, it is rich in marine life and offers stunning landscapes that vary from undulating vineyards to coastal seasides.

Sitting at the mouth of Murray River, and bordered on two sides by the Southern Ocean, Fleurieu Peninsula consists of four key areas – the Alexandrina Council, City of Onkaparinga, City of Victor Harbor and District Council of Yankalilla.
