Silver Sands

Silver sands is a beach that you can drive on to. On a busy day you’ll have to drive quite far down.
I like silver sands, there are people of all different shapes and sizes just letting it all hang out, compared with Glenelg where you catch people in the latest swimwear oiling each other.
The water is pleasant to swim in, the waves are small and there wasn’t too much seaweed in the shallows.
Also if you’re wanting to sun bathe in private (wearing an SPF 30 I hope) you can head to the back of the beach in re dunes.

This beach is fantastic!
If you’re happy to drive a little further than the regular metropolitan beach areas, then come to Silver Sands, otherwise known as Aldinga Beach.
The sand is clean and white, and the water is clear. The biggest novelty however is the fact hat you can park the car on the beach. As in on the sand. Near the water. It’s alternative like that. Craaaazy.
I rather like this quality of parking on the beach, as it really sets it apart from other beaches. I also find it convenient, and I rather like being 100% at ease that my belongings are not going to be snatched by lingering beach thieves.
The only associated negative is that there are no real beach front stores or kiosks. Well not in direct/​close proximity anyway. Yet than again, this down fall, believe it or not, does help to preserve the seclusion and privacy that is evident in the mannerism of this particular beach.
Good work Silver Sands!

I think I like the fact that there aren’t kiosks and that sort of thing on this beach. I think that’s part of why it’s about a million times nicer than somewhere, like, say, Glenelg.
You can come here, relax on the sand, have a swim, and like Penny says, feel reasonably confident that your little pile of clothes, towel, wallet and keys aren’t going to disappear. Then again, I’m pretty paranoid, so I lock most of that stuff in the car and carry a car key in the pocket of my shorts. Yet another reason to not wear budgie smugglers.
Parking on the sand is pretty novel, for me. And it’s so much nicer than having to walk over hot asphalt barefoot.
