Food & Wine on the Fleurieu Peninsula
With its close proximity to Adelaide, the Fleurieu Peninsula is undoubtedly one of the most popular destination choices when it comes to recreation and leisure pursuits.
On Discover, we've featured many stories on the endless options this region boasts when it comes to holiday accommodation - there are choices to suit all budgets! If you're seeking something a little different, why not try some of the adventure activities we've discovered; Go-Kart racing, Tandem Hang Gliding, Sea Kayaking, Parachuting, Scuba Diving and 4Wheel Driving, Sailing and Surfing to name but a few! We also love exploring the stunning natural beauty of Deep Creek National Park and believe that it's one of our state's best kept secrets. In less than three hours you can leave the city behind and find yourself camping among Kangaroos, swimming in stunning coves and hiking through stringybark forests. Magic!
On the subject of natural environments, the Coorong takes a lot of beating and the Fleurieu Peninsula is the gateway to this pristine wilderness area which is just perfect for those who like to get off the beaten track. Visit the beautiful beaches, try the local wine and indulge in some fabulous local produce, you'll find it all on the Fabulous Fleurieu!
