Our family has been staying at Moana over the Christmas holiday period for many years, 3 generations, in fact. The southern beaches of Adelaide are stunning and we think Moana is the pick of them, with its long flat beach and within a stone’s throw to the beautiful McLaren Vale Wine district and Fleurieu Peninsula – but we may be biased.
Moana beach is a great holiday destination during Adelaide’s long hot summers. It is a particularly popular spot during the Christmas holidays. Interestingly, it is an equally stunning place to stay during the middle of winter when the winter waves and cold fronts roll in off the ocean.
Whether it is whiling away the hours on the beach during the long hot summer or putting your feet up with a good book in the warmth of the apartment overlooking the beach during the winter months, it is a great place to stay. Regardless of what time of year it is, one thing remains – the uninterrupted views, sounds and smells of the beach.
