Shelly Beach
Shelly Beach is a natural Southern Ocean shoreline near Port MacDonnell and Cape Northumberland. Its shell-related name reflects the character of this coastal setting, where rocky formations and open ocean views shape the experience. Nearby sections of the Heysen Trail provide elevated walking views over the beach and surrounding coast. The exposed, natural shoreline calls for care with footing, wind and changing sea conditions.
