Beach Getaway In Your Own Backyard

If you live in as it likes to be called radadelaide, you are probably well aware of how truly rad it is not. If you are anything like me you are always looking for somewhere cool to escape to and i think i have found the perfect place!

South Australia's hidden treasure Second Valley  is a small town about 2 hours drive from Adelaide, and trust me it is well worth it! Not only does it feel like a holiday because you are away from everything familiar but even on a bad day you will be glad you made the trip! With friends in the car and loud music the drive is half the fun anyway. 

Second Valley has an amazing white sand private secluded beach (which every time i visit is practically empty, especially compared to anywhere around Adelaide). The beach has such clear water you will not even believe.

A personal favourite activity of mine to do with my friends there is snorkeling. There is an amazing snorkeling area just off from the jetty with amazing underwater views that are protected by the surrounding rock so you don't have to worry about the waves if you are a beginner like me!

If you are a little more adventurous Jetty Jumping is also a popular and fun activity that heaps of people get involved in. If you are on the more observant side, the opposite side of the jetty offers amazing views from the cliffs which you can climb. I know what you are thinking, but don't worry you don't have to go up very far to get breath taking views. Any pictures that you take in the water or from a height will look like you are on a tropical island, an instagram worthy pictures in unavoidable.

If you are wanting a bit more of a getaway than just a day road trip there is also a caravan park right on the beach front. A caravan park also means a kiosk and hot chips for you and your friends to share on the beach!

Pretty much a fail proof activity which i would highly recommend!
