Ski beach

Down at the southern end of Tumby Bay, this low-key spot is the kind of place locals keep half to themselves. There’s a decent open grass area, clean amenities, and the ocean views are genuinely hard to beat — you get that wide Spencer Gulf outlook without the crowds you’d find elsewhere. It’s quiet here, which is honestly the whole point. Families, campers, and water-skiers all find their way here, and somehow it never feels busy. If you’re after a relaxed beach day or a base for a night or two of camping, this is a solid pick.
