One of South Australia's most picturesque (most 'Instagrammed') locations, Second Valley is a coastal town in the Fleurieu Peninsula, about 74 km south of Adelaide.
The name derives from being the second/next valley north of Rapid Bay, the initial camp on South Australian mainland of Colonel William Light.
The beach offers stunning views of the coast and some unique geological formations, and is famous for swimming (mostly the eastern beach as it is more sandy), fishing, scuba diving and snorkelling.
Follow the open valley that narrows at the coast to a gap, through which flows the small Parananacooka Creek and the road to the beach. The small town and caravan park lies on the landward side of the gap. There is a small car park leading to a jetty with the two small beaches to either side.
