The South Australian coastline is quite literally one beautiful beach after another. White sand, gentle rolling waves or fabulous surf (if that’s your thing).

There’s nothing quite as special, or Australian, as enjoying a day at the beach with your friends and family.

MESA del mar is located on the Esplanade at Aldinga Beach, which means you are mere steps away from dipping your toes in the water at Aldinga Beach, Silver Sands Beach or Port Willunga Beach.

Aldinga Beach is the perfect spot if you’re planning to spend the whole day on the sand, pack the car up with the eski and drive on down, it’s one of the few drive on beaches in SA.

Kids will love the local wildlife too - beautiful birds, the occasional sea lion or dolphin, and all the creatures of the Aldinga Heritage Reef that can be discovered when the tide is out.
