Grandpa’s Guide to Driving in Victor Harbor

G’day, mates! What’s up? I was just looking back on my younger days. I used to love coming to the beach. My motto one summer used to be: “Sun. Surf. Sand.” This trip down memory lane also made me wonder about which of the South Australian cities has the best beaches to hit.

Tell you what, it wasn’t long until Victor Harbor came into mind. Victor Harbor boasts of outstanding early colonial architecture, good pubs, cafes and restaurants and of course, unbelievable beaches!

But of course, before you can set out for a convenient trip around the city, you’ve got to take care of your modes of transportation first. In this day and age the most sensible thing you can do when it comes to vacationing in unfamiliar territory is to get a car rental. It’s fast, it’s easy, and it’s affordable. If that doesn’t get to you, wait until you see the selection of cars you can rent! They’re all perfectly styled and safe to use. So get the best deals here at Victor Harbor Car Rental and be glad that you came upon this opportunity to make the right choice!

1. Granite Island Recreation and Nature Park

Here at Granite Island Recreation and Nature Park you’ll get to see the magical Little Penguins! The guided penguin tours a hit at the park and you definitely need to go on one to get a healthy dose of Penguin sight-seeing! Not only that, you can discover the rest of the islands and its wonders. After a proper exploration you might want to drop by the park’s café for some grub, a cup of coffee or a cool, refreshing drink! Certainly an experience you’ll surely enjoy!

2. South Australian Whale Centre

The SA Whale Centre lets you take on the role of a true blue “whaler” and guides you as you go through conservation area habitats and come across the whales, sharks, mammals and fish. The original exhibits continue to fascinate all sorts of visitors up until today and that includes the 3D mural and the Sperm Whale vertebrae. Now, if that doesn’t intrigue you, I don’t know what will!

3. Petrel Cove

So you might have been wondering where those lovely Victor Harbor beaches I’ve been talking about are? They’re plenty of them but I really have to recommend Petrol Cove! Thermals constantly rise on each side of the Bluff and ridden by pelicans and seabirds to launch themselves into unbelievable altitudes. These thermals bring in the best waves and attract adventurous spirits who are looking for some serious surf!

How do you find Victor Harbor so far? It’s awesome enough, yeah? So what’re you waiting for? Catch the next flight in!

Thanks for the read, mates! Do have a lovely time!
