Maslin Beach

Maslin Beach

42 kilometres from Adelaide

Just 42 kilometres from Adelaide, Maslin Beach (or ‘Maslins’ to locals) is a place where wild beauty and freedom collide. Towering ochre cliffs frame one of South Australia's most breathtaking stretches of sand — a coastline carved by time and kissed by sunlight.

Families gather at Blanche Point’s clifftop reserve for picnics with a view, while beneath the waves, divers and snorkellers discover shipwrecks and sea dragons in a world few get to see.

At the southern end lies something truly unique — Australia’s first legal nudist beach — a symbol of the openness and spirit that defines this place. Raw, rugged and utterly unforgettable, Maslin Beach is a Fleurieu icon waiting to be unearthed.
