Long Beach Robe –

Your Local Guide to One of South Australia's Best Beaches

If you ask almost any local where to begin your Robe holiday, chances are they'll give you the same answer.

Head to Long Beach.

Stretching for more than 12 kilometres along the spectacular coastline of Robe, Long Beach is more than just one of South Australia's best beaches—it's part of the Robe lifestyle.

Whether you're here for a summer family holiday, a romantic coastal escape or a weekend exploring the Limestone Coast, Long Beach is where unforgettable holiday memories are made.

From sunrise walks and beach cricket to swimming, fishing and four-wheel driving, there's a reason so many visitors return to Long Beach year after year.

Why Long Beach is So Special?

Long Beach isn't a beach you simply visit.

It's one you settle into.

The wide expanse of sand means there's always room to spread out, even during the busiest holiday periods. Families build sandcastles close to the dunes, friends gather for lazy afternoons by the water, and walkers seem to disappear into the distance as the beach stretches towards the horizon.

The atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming and unmistakably Robe. It's been this way for as long as we can remember and probably long before that.

Whether you're spending an hour or an entire day here, Long Beach has a way of slowing life down.

Can You Drive on Long Beach?

One of the things that makes Long Beach unique is that, under suitable conditions and in accordance with local regulations, vehicles are permitted on parts of the beach.

Driving on the beach is a privilege that helps make Long Beach such a distinctive destination, so it's important that everyone shares it responsibly.
