Second Valley Beach, South Australia for Sunday Best

 







Second Valley Beach is frequently promoted as an ideal family-friendly destination. Upon our arrival, Joel's immediate observation was its diminutive size, referring to it as a "small, tiny, puny beach!" Nevertheless, the area was teeming with visitors, seemingly more people than sand. The beach featured an abandoned jetty and a distinctive belt of unusual rock formations extending away from the shoreline. Fortunately, the tide was low, allowing us to safely traverse the narrow, stony trail leading to the rocky outcroppings.

Linking Sunday Best

In the past few days, I have completed viewing the second season of "House of Dragons," watched two horror films while exercising on the elliptical machine, and watched the movie "Sleeping Dogs." As a result, I feel thoroughly entertained.

  3. It is good people can enjoy the water, and fish from the pier. Your photos show this to be a lovely place to be.

  6. Definitely unusual rock formations, yes. And dark in colour too.
    I wonder how the single fisherman is doing.

    1. Zero fishes caught. Silly fisherman with so many people in the water

  8. I wonder about the rusting metal contraption in the second last photo. It looks like it was a winch. I wonder if there was once a cable hauled ferry across.

  9. You have been entertained watching the movies.
    Must be safe there to swim and as you say, not much sand.

  10. The geology of that place is fascinating! Parts of the Columbia River Gorge are like that.

  14. La playa si que parece pequeña, pero el entorno siendo un poco aventurero al igual que hicisteis vosotros se puede dar un bonito paseo.
    Creo que hay una playa mas pequeña la cual tengo pendiente de visitar.

    Saludos.
