Fact Sheets & Video - Beachport

While many Aussies know of historic Robe, few are aware of Beachport, which is 50km further south along the Limestone Coast. Sand dunes, rocky headlands, pristine beaches all make Beachport a mecca for nature lovers.

The town offers a combination of scenic coastal splendour and opportunities for adventure. The Beachport Jetty is the second longest in South Australia, measuring 772 metres. The uniquely buoyant Pool of Siloam in Beachport has a salt concentration seven times greater than the sea (the Dead Sea is 8.6 times higher).

Sand dune four-wheel driving is a popular activity on the Limestone Coast and beachport offers 4WD adventures along great expanses of beach that range from hard-packed and easy to deep and extreme.

'Follow Me 4WD' offers Nationally Recognised 4WD drive training, towing education (Tow-Ed) and tagalong tours. Driver education is becoming more important.
