Aldinga Bay Surf Life Saving Club is located in the centre of a straight 6 km long west facing beach (215) that begins just north of Cactus Canyon, below the steep bluffs of southern Sellicks Beach. The beach runs almost due north for 3 km to Silver Sands, the site of the surf club, then on for another 3 km to the rock flats that form the border with Aldinga Beach. The beach is composed of fine sand, which with the usually low gulf waves and swell (0.5 to 1 m) produces a low, flat beach, firm enough to drive a car on. Occasional bigger wind waves and higher swell maintain a shallow second bar which parallels the beach, a continuous trough separating it from the beach (Fig. 4.48). A shingle beach also backs the southern half of the beach. The shingle is eroded from the southern cliffs and reworked up the beach by higher seas.
Beach Length: 6km
General Hazard Rating: 4/10
