From beach havens in the Yorke Peninsula to the underground city of Coober Pedy, South Australia is teeming with things to do over the next school holidays or even just a weekend away.
We've gathered together the destinations that will give you a holiday above the rest.
To say Kangaroo Island is a slice of paradise is an understatement. From incredible sunsets over Seal Bay to the Remarkable Rocks that sit atop the southern side of the island, unforgettable is just one of the words we'd use to describe your time here.
We're sure the kids are going to love this one. Most commonly known for its abundance of wineries, Adelaide Hills also offers a wide range of kid-friendly experiences. With so much to cover, we recommend taking a hike or spending a day at one of the many wildlife sanctuaries.
Nestled near the Victorian border, Mount Gambier is truly a one-of-a-kind holiday destination. No where else in the state can you spend a day in a garden sinkhole, or watch a lake turn a bright, cobalt blue in the summer.
Situated just across the St Vincent Gulf, the Yorke Peninsula offers a coastal escape from the city. The family holiday options are endless, from sandy havens on the west coast to national parks in the south of Inneston. We recommend packing up the car and hitting the road.
Located on the central coast of Australia's southern state, the Eyre Peninsula is home to pristine natural formations, the freshest seafood and endless hiking trails. If you're looking for a family getaway that's the perfect mix of adventure and ocean fun, then you can't look past South Australia's pointy end.
Take a step back in time with a trip inland to Coober Pedy. The town is a cocktail of rich mining history, outback experiences and encapsulating red landscapes. From exploring underground temples to watching the sun lower into the hills of Kanku-Breakaways, Coober Pedy is worth the stopover.
It's the heart of South Australia and it offers a variety of activities that are sure to keep the whole family happy. We recommend taking to the water with a dolphin cruise and tasting the best Australian produce on offer at the local markets.
From shores close to the city to a taste of clear blue paradise, these are our top beach picks:
