Basham Beach
Basham Beach is a long sandy shoreline between Middleton and Port Elliot. Within Ratalang-Basham Beach Conservation Reserve, coastal dunes, heathland, rocky headlands and small bays create a varied setting, while the Encounter Bikeway follows the foreshore for walking and cycling. The coast is also known for shore-based whale watching during migration periods; ocean conditions can vary and should guide swimming and other water activities.
