We took the Goslings to Carpenters Rocks recently. This is our favourite local beach destination. It's so beautiful with the lighthouse mounted high above a rocky outcrop. There are rock pools and shallow coves to explore, sweeping beaches, a wrecked boat for interest and miles and miles of uninterrupted views. In winter it's blustery and wild, and in summer it's the perfect place for a shallow paddle. The only drawback is it's also a popular destination for trail bike riders. Don't get me started. Why oh why hasn't South Australia banned beach access for bikes and cars? As far as I can see, they RUIN the atmosphere with their noise and pollution and they are devastating the fragile dune environments. However, don't let this put you off, they aren't there often and the beach is so vast it's big enough to accommodate everyone (if you can ignore the revving in the distance).
