Vivonne Bay

A lot of beaches get called out as Australia's best, but Vivonne Bay definitely deserves its regular top-tier rankings. Six kilometres long, this U-shaped cove is famous for its long jetty, glassy water and sugary white sand. Accessible by a red dirt road, and hidden away between some rocky cliffs, Vivonne Bay is an isolated bit of paradise that you'll most probably get to yourself. With just one general store and a campground nearby, Vivonne is the perfect place to switch off and soak up the beauty of South Australia without anything (or anyone) else getting in the way.
