Goolwa Holidays
City/town information
Beach or lake? Fresh water or salt? Goolwa has them both, where the Murray River meets the ocean. Perfect for sunbathing, surfing, swimming, sailing, kayaking and any other water sport you can think of.
Water not your thing? Golf is right next door, bike tracks abound, walking trails, nature and birdlife aplenty. Take a walk across the sand dunes from the Barrage and end up at the Mouth of the Murray.
Restaurants serve local produce (including the famous Goolwa Pipis) or head over the bridge to Hindmarsh Island to the Coorong Cafe for the best fish & chips!
The coastal towns of Middleton, Port Elliot and Victor Harbour are only a short drive away.
Goolwa has something for everyone.
