Fleurieu Peninsula Travel Guide

The Fleurieu has traditionally been seen as Adelaide's backyard. Generations of local families have vacationed in the string of beachside resorts between Victor Harbor and Goolwa, near the mouth of the Murray River. McLaren Vale wineries attract connoisseurs, and the beaches and bays bring in surfers, swimmers, and sunseekers. The countryside, with its rolling hills and dramatic cliff scenery, is a joy to drive through.
