About Sellicks Beach
Sellicks Beach is a long sandy beach in the suburb of Sellicks Beach within the City of Onkaparinga, about 50 kilometres south of Adelaide, South Australia. Backed by the dramatic Sellicks Hill escarpment and facing Gulf St Vincent, it is notable as one of the few beaches in South Australia where vehicles are permitted to drive on the sand. The beach is popular for swimming, fishing, surfing, walking and scenic coastal views.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a wide, open sandy beach stretching for several kilometres beneath steep cliffs of the Sellicks Hill Range. The beach offers expansive views across Gulf St Vincent, vehicle access directly onto the sand at designated access points, areas for swimming, fishing and surfing, and coastal walking. Facilities are concentrated near the foreshore and lookout areas, with a natural, relatively undeveloped setting compared to more urban Adelaide beaches.
