Things To Do
Encounter Bay is an ideal getaway location all year round!
Our apartment is an easy walk to the beach and wharf for swimming, shell hunting, fishing and boat trips. You can even grab coffee and a meal at Whalers Seaside Dining – or a little further along at Yilki’s store.
In summer the Fleurieu coast offers outdoor dining, beach fun and hiking – while during the cooler months, enjoy watching the majestic southern right and humpback whales as they visit the coast to nurse their calves (late May to August/September).
Year-round you can spot seals and dolphins in the bay, try your hand at fishing, head out on a boat tour from the wharf or explore the many shops, cafes and restaurants in the beautiful coastal towns of Victor Harbor, Goolwa and Port Elliott. And of course, no trip to the Fleurieu Peninsula is complete without a trip to Granite Island on the historic horse-drawn tram!
Or for the ultimate in relaxation, simply sit back and enjoy spectacular sunrises, sunsets and the sparkling ocean any time from the balcony of The Salty Seagull.
