#SellicksBeach, you’re a showstopper from any angle! Reminiscent of a #Jurassic Park scene, these craggy cliffs are surrounded by rich, green pastures with some of the best views in @officialfleurieupeninsula, just ask @julia_jacque! Beyond its picturesque, steep headlands, this local gem is a favourite in #summer where you can find a park right on the sandy shores with schools of fish as your fellow beach goers. With only 12 days left of winter (🙌) we’re prepping for an upcoming season of salt, sails and sunscreen… watch out the tides are about to turn! ⛱️ ☀️ #SeeSouthAustralia [📍Location: just 2 hrs flight from Melbourne to #Adelaide in #SouthAustralia, then a 45 minute drive to #Sellicks #Beach in #FleurieuPeninsula ] #SeeAustralia #Australia
