Pearl, Aldinga

Aldinga

(Kaurna name: Ngaltingga) 

44 kilometres from Adelaide 

In summer, Aldinga is all drive-on beaches and fish and chips in the sand. But come winter, this charming township transforms into a dream for culinary explorers — full of warmth, flavour, and local character.

Set just inland from the wild beauty of Aldinga Beach, Aldinga is a place where historic buildings meet new energy. Once a farming hub, its old stone walls now house cosy pubs, hidden wine bars, and some of the Fleurieu’s most talked-about dining spots.

Step into Big Easy Radio, where the wine is low-intervention, the music is always spinning, and the vibe is effortlessly cool. Pearl serves up wood-fired food with big heart and bold flavours — the kind of place where you’ll lose track of time. And down a narrow alley, you’ll find Fall from Grace, a tiny, world-class wine shop and bar pouring rare bottles and stories in equal measure.

Aldinga in winter is all about settling in — whether that’s with a glass of red, a bowl of something slow-cooked, or a long afternoon spent watching the clouds roll over the ocean.
