4. In March 2015, South Australia's mid coast was
crowned as the 3rd Surf Reserve in South Australia.
The 9km length of coast between Christies Beach and
Moana (where Surf & Sun run their surf classes) was
titled as a surf reserve after many years of campaigning
by a passionate group of mid coast surfers who want to
ensure that the coastline remains as pristine as possible
and so they can enjoy the views of the cliffs and
beaches for many years to come.
5. For the bid to be successful, it must have community
support, the coast had to have good waves, and the
area should have an extensive surfing history.
Dion Atkinson, one of SA's best surfer in the recently
concluded South Australian Surf State Titles 2015 and
who was on the world tour in 2014 became the mid
coast ambassador. Dion grew up surfing at Seaford and
training at "The Bowl" had helped him to achieve
where he is today.
6. In the coming days, we will see interpretive signage
installed and a dedication ceremony to celebrate the
mid coast being titled as a surfing reserve.
If you haven't visited the mid coast then you must drive
down, check out the coastline including the Port
Noarlunga Reef and Onkaparinga River Mouth
7. and stop in for a coffee and lunch at Deep Blue in
Moana beach. It would be a great outing as it provides
a various activities that the whole family will surely
enjoy. Check out this list of things to do with kids in
Victor Harbor.
We are very grateful to the Mid Coast Surfing Reserve
Committee for achieving this great title for the region -
well done to all that were involved.
