Best Beach For Snorkeling In Adelaide

Ewens Ponds

If you want to catch a glimpse of some amazing fish you need to check out Ewnwes pond. It contains dozens of aquatic species that can be viewed from your full-face snorkel.

Among reedbeds are multiple ponds, all connected by shallow channels. The water is so clear you can see the vegetation and marine life with ease. This unique setting makes Ewen ponds an amazing spot for snorkelling.

The water can get cold in Adelaide, and that's no different at Ewnws ponds. It's common to get 10-degree water so we recommend going snorkelling in a wet suit.

In order to ensure the longevity of the area, the local council has created a permit system for snorkelers in the area.

Pooches of the sea, Port Lincoln

Port Lincoln is home to some of the cutest and most curious marine animals, the sea lion! So many are spotted living in this area it was famously called seal cove.

Sea Lions may sound scary but they are nothing like the lions on land. Adorable, sweet and friendly to humans. Sea Lions should be called Sea puppies!

You can easily interact and get up close to these animals. You will be amazed as they twist and swim through the water. Similar to dolphins, sea lions love to show off. Just make sure you have a full-face snorkel mask to ensure the best possible view.

 

 

Second Valley, Fleurieu Peninsula

Across the peninsula are some of the best views and snorkelling spots in Adelaide. This stretch of water provides great views across the whole strip of beach. For snorkelling, it is just as good but be warned that it's a spot for experienced snorkelers. As the waters can get a bit rough at times.

With multiple underwater features such as seagrass meadows, you are bound to come across some awesome sea life. Well worth the visit.
