Long Beach

Long Beach is a long, sandy ocean beach extending north from the town of Robe on Guichen Bay in South Australia's Limestone Coast. Backed by dunes and stretching for more than 10 kilometres, it is known for its wide, flat sand, clear water and views of the town and Cape Dombey. The beach is a central recreational area for Robe, popular for swimming, walking, fishing and four-wheel driving along the shoreline.

Visitors can expect a wide, flat expanse of white sand backed by low dunes stretching north from Robe township along Guichen Bay. The beach is open and exposed with generally calm to moderate surf near town and more surf further north. Areas near the town are accessible on foot for swimming and walking, while northern sections are commonly accessed by four-wheel drive vehicles. There are beach access points from the town and Esplanade, with views to the Robe Obelisk and Cape Dombey at the southern end.

Robe was established as a port town in the 1840s on Guichen Bay and served as a major port for South Australia's southeast in the 19th century. Long Beach forms the main foreshore of the bay and has long been used for recreation, fishing and coastal access adjacent to the historic township, Cape Dombey and the Robe Obelisk built in 1855 as a navigation aid.

The Robe area lies on the traditional lands of the Boandik (Bunganditj) people. The beach and Guichen Bay remain an important coastal landscape for recreation and community use and are part of the Limestone Coast's coastal heritage.
