Dating in McLaren Vale and the Fleurieu
In shortThe Fleurieu Peninsula takes in the McLaren Vale wine region and seaside towns like Victor Harbor. It is close enough to Adelaide for a day date. In winter, the coast is one of the best places in the state to look for whales.
A first date idea
Granite Island causeway
A new causeway to Granite Island opened in December 2021, beside the original. Walking across is free, and the island is a conservation park with free entry. The horse-drawn tram, first run in 1894, makes a return trip daily.
