September Beach - Lincoln National Park

SELF DRIVE:  13km/15mins FROM PORT LINCOLN TO PARK ENTRANCE  

ENTRY FEE:  $11 per vehicle payable at the gate  

September Beach is approx another 20mins onwards

The Lincoln National Park never ceases to amaze me - so many beautiful hidden beaches.  One of those is September Beach.  It is at the end of Natinoal Park, just south east of Donnington.

Fishery Bay

SELF DRIVE:  25mins ex PORT LINCOLN

 

Well, what can I say?  Fishery's is one hell of a nice beach.

If you have a 4WD you can drive it down onto the sand and set up for the day.  NOTE: You probably need to let you tyres down.  I got stuck here in my Dad's car - a Subaru Outback.  We made it all the way down and along the beach but just as we were edging up the hill, off the soft sand we got stuck.  Stuck for about 20minutes, without mobile phones and the smell of a burning clutch.  I managed to grab the one other person on the beach at the time (who was thankful that I had relieved him of his jog along the beach) for a bit of local advice.  Apparently Dad just wasn't 'givin' it enough guts.'  Sure enough with a bit more pedal to the metal, we were off and away.

If the wind's blowing in the right direction Fishery is a popular surf spot for beginner-intermediates and great bay to go stand-up paddle boarding at. It's also great if there's a northerly wind and you find the main beach in Port Lincoln too windy.  Just head to either end of this beautiful bay and you should find it a bit more protected.

Fisherman's Point - Lincoln National Park

Looking down from the camping area.

Oh me, Oh my.  There are so many wonderful spots in the Lincoln National Park.  So far, I have only touched on a few and let me tell you - they do not dissapoint! 
This might be one of my favourites.  Accessible by 2WD it's about 30mins into the National Park.  This point is set about 10-15 metres above sea level.  It's secluded by shrubbery and almost has 360 views of the ocean.  It sits right above a lovely peaceful bay.  You can light campfires, set up camp, relax, swim, fish, walk on the beach and just enjoy.  What more could you possibly need?

Pretty nice huh?
