Drive to Victor Harbor and turn left at the roundabout before town head along the coast past Pt Elliot and Middleton. Take the road to the beach before the town. Drive to the beach carpark and paddle out.
Not a great spot but very occasionally gets good. This is the place to go if the swell is too big for Waits and Parsons but to small for some of the other breaks around Middleton or Pt Elliot. A really long paddle out especially onshore conditions. Sometimes has strong longshore rips.

Nothing special but a good beach for lying around on or learning.
Goolwa FTW!!!
Ok wtf are you guys complaining about?
its a great beach to learn to surf, as well as have fun with when your more experienced.
Ive been going to goolwa for 15-20 years, in the early 2000's when Horseshoe Bay was pounding goolwa as also having 4-5ft breaks regularily and that was great, tides have changed but around 2012-2013 the tides are going to be almost identical to those in the early 2000's. its going to get better, but for now, damn there is no other place ill rather be, except bells nad coolangata :)

I hate trying to get out to the back here. The sand bars like continually change and theres never a decent rip to pull ya out.
