Summary
Weather for McLaren Vale Beaches

The beach at ALDINGA BEACH is wide, sandy, offers good swimming and has boat launching facilities. A boardwalk offers good coastal views.

The area is also a focus for diving and snorkelling with a unique Aquatic Reserve established in the waters 2 km off the beach to protect a rare reef formation.

Some of its most notable inhabitants are the rare blue-devil fish and huge fans of gorgian coral. An underwater trail for snorkellers and scuba enthusiasts includes a spectacular underwater cliff, or drop off.

SELLICKS BEACH is part of long, sandy expanses that continue north towards Adelaide in a series of popular beaches. Car parking is permitted on the beach below the Esplanade, but please consider other beach users.

Boat launching facilities are available and flathead, mullet, snapper, tommy ruff and whiting are caught regularly.

MASLIN BEACH achieved fame as Australia's first proclaimed 'unclad' beach and hosts the "Nude Olympics" in January each year. With its protected cove, high cliff face and long expanse of sand, Maslins' Beach is a popular bathing spot.

CHRISTIES BEACH is a great family swimming beach with a boat launching facility accessing nearby fishing grounds. A foreshore reserve offers picnic facilities and the Beach Road shopping strip offers most services. It is a popular year-round holiday destination, and is home to South Australia's annual Celtic Festival. The Original Open Market is held in the Beach Road Reserve on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of every month.

Facilities: accommodation, restaurants, toilets, bank, ATM, phone, fuel.
