From Our Own Trips

Explore the Limestone Coast

The Limestone Coast is one of those trips where the planning matters just as much as the destination. Tides, soft sand, changing beach conditions and knowing where you can and can't drive can completely change the day.

We've put this guide together using our own trips through the region along with practical planning information for Robe, Little Dip, Beachport, Canunda, Carpenter Rocks and Mount Gambier.

It's not a rigid itinerary. It's designed to help you understand the area, prepare your vehicle and build your own trip.

Tides Change the Trip

A predicted low tide doesn't automatically mean a beach is safe to drive. Swell, wind, erosion, recent weather and local beach conditions all matter. Check the tide before leaving, know what it will be doing during your return trip and never rely on an app alone.

The full information is inside the PDF.

Save It Before You Hit the Sand

Offline Is Where You Need It

Phone reception can disappear along parts of the Limestone Coast. Download the guide before heading out so you have the information saved on your phone or device when you're offline.

Local 4WD Recovery

For life-threatening emergencies call Triple Zero (000). This contact is for vehicle recovery and practical trip assistance only.
