South Australia – Lipson Cove

Welcome to Lipson Cove — a tucked-away gem carved into the rugged Eyre Peninsula, where the water glows turquoise and the sand squeaks beneath your feet. This crescent-shaped haven is the kind of place that feels like you’ve found a secret — and maybe you have.

Works best on a clean SE breeze when the swell’s small and the sun’s doing its thing. You’re launching from soft beach straight into a calm bay with enough room to stretch your lines and your soul. Not much chop, just the kind of mellow glide that makes you forget time.

Camping here is old-school and epic — bring your own everything, sleep with the stars overhead, and wake to glassy water with maybe a pelican or two watching you rig. Keep it quiet, keep it clean — Lipson’s got that sacred kind of stillness.
