Rapid Bay Beach
Highlights
Rapid Bay Beach is a stunning spot that’s perfect for a relaxing day by the water. The long sandy beaches and towering cliffs make it feel like a real hidden paradise. You can stroll along the brand-new jetty, fish, or simply enjoy the beautiful ocean views. For the history buffs, this beach is also where Colonel Light stepped ashore in 1830, marking the start of South Australia’s history!
If you’re into diving, Rapid Bay is also known for its incredible underwater world, including shipwrecks and the elusive Leafy Sea Dragon. It’s a paradise for both underwater explorers and anyone who loves the beach!
