Unveil the Limestone Coast: beyond beaches and seafood

Limestone Coast, where unspoilt beaches and brilliant seafood meet with a rich and diverse landscape. The 400 kilometres of wild coastline are just the beginning. Venture inland to discover a vast countryside with warm days and cool nights, ideal for cultivating the world-famous Coonawarra vineyards. Fertile lands produce golden grain, gourmet mushrooms, abundant potatoes, and premium livestock, including Australia's finest full-blood Wagyu. Paired with the exquisite Southern Rock Lobster, offering the nation's best 'surf and turf.'

​

The namesake limestone, formed 25 million years ago, is the foundation of many unique attractions, including a network of caves and sinkholes. The Naracoorte Caves, with their 500,000-year-old megafauna fossils, are a World Heritage site. Divers flock to the 

sinkholes, such as Kilsby and Ewens Ponds, for their unparalleled water clarity.

​

Limestone Coast towns are steeped in history. Penola is the hometown of Australia's first saint, Mary MacKillop. Robe was a bustling port in the 1850s. Mount Gambier, perched on a dormant volcano, boasts one of the world's most extraordinary inner-city gardens.

 

So, while you soak in the stunning coast, take the time to explore further. You'll be astonished by what awaits.
