Overview

Carrickalinga sits 60 km (37 mi) south of Adelaide on the Fleurieu Peninsula, perched above Gulf St Vincent and backed by the wide, white‑sand beaches of Yankalilla Bay. Haycock Point splits the shoreline into North and South Carrickalinga beaches, while a plaque on Gold Coast Drive marks the Tjilbruke Dreaming Track that runs along the coast. In 2024 the town earned the distinction of being Australia’s first International Dark‑Sky Community, offering residents spectacular night‑sky viewing amid a tranquil seaside setting.

The suburb provides a quiet residential lifestyle with no shops of its own; the nearest retail centre is in Normanville, just a kilometre away. Access is via Gold Coast Drive and surrounding local roads, linking the community to Adelaide and nearby bays such as Dodd Bay and Carrickalinga Head. Housing began with a private subdivision in 1958, creating streets like Lewis Road, Lyddon Place and Solitude Drive that host a modest mix of coastal homes, many overlooking the creek that empties into the sea.
