The Fleurieu Peninsula is the great outdoors in Adelaide's front yard. The complete natural playground with the Mclaren Vale winemaking region beautifully located between hills and the sea and beaches stretching all the way to Cape Jervis in the south. To the south east are the Murray Mouth and Hindmarsh Island, to the east sloping hillsides and picturesque country towns. It's a sea breeze to get to, and full of marvelous driving, strolling and cycling territory. So take those boots, as well as binoculars for a glimpse of whales in season.
