Fleurieu Peninsula Attractions 
The Fleurieu Peninsula, a spur of land projecting southwest from the South Mount Lofty Ranges, extends from O'Halloran Hill (south of Adelaide) to Cape Jervis on the west coast and the vast expanse of Lake Alexandrina in the east. It has a good network of main and secondary roads and a range of beaches for every taste - sheltered sandy inlets in Gulf St Vincent, mighty cliffs and thundering surf in the south. Victor Harbor, in Encounter Bay to the southeast, is a popular beach and holiday resort linked with Granite Island by a long causeway.
