FOR THE NATURE LOVER
Skip the crowded shores of Croatia or the Greek Islands to swim the serene shallows of Vivonne Bay in Kangaroo Island. The six-kilometre, U-shaped beach has white sandy shores and is perfect for lazy days taking in the jetty framing the south end and the sandy dunes in the north. If you prefer some wildlife-packed snorkelling as part of your getaway, head to Almonta Beach at the southern tip of the Eyre Peninsula in Coffin Bay National Park. Time your visit with low tide when a lagoon forms, and end the day on a delicious high as you wade out into the water with Coffin Bay Oyster Farm & Tasting Tours (oysterfarmtours. com.au) to eat freshly shucked oysters.
