Top Things To Do in Robe & Along the Limestone Coast

A Local's Guide from Stony Rise Lodge

Robe may be small, but it's rich in coastal beauty and character. From secret beaches to clifftop views and ancient natural wonders, the Limestone Coast rewards curious explorers with unforgettable experiences. Here are some of our favourite ways to embrace the best of the region — all easily reached from Stony Rise Lodge.

Long Beach

A South Australian favourite — and one of the few beaches where you can drive right onto the sand. More than 12km of coastline invites relaxed swims, family fun and sunset strolls. Head past the third ramp for the quietest stretch and bigger surf.

Hoopers Beach

A calm and sheltered shoreline just a short walk from town. Perfect for snorkelling, paddleboarding or a peaceful morning swim.

Little Dip Conservation Park

Where rugged limestone cliffs meet rolling dunes and secluded coves. Wander bush tracks, discover hidden beaches and take in dramatic Southern Ocean views. Some areas are 4WD access only — ask us for the best routes.

Robe Obelisk Walk

Robe's most iconic landmark sits proudly above Guichen Bay. The short clifftop walk delivers panoramic ocean views — especially beautiful at sunrise and sunset.

Bowman Scenic Drive

A laid-back coastal drive with stop-offs for sweeping lookouts and ocean photography. During whale season, keep an eye on the horizon for migrating giants.

Robe Boat Tours

Experience Robe from the water; dolphins, seabirds and rugged cliffs included. It's a gentle and unforgettable way to see the coastline from a new perspective.

Naracoorte Caves

(World Heritage–listed) Ancient fossil chambers and dramatic limestone caverns await just 90 minutes from Robe — an incredible day trip for nature lovers and history buffs alike.

Umpherston Sinkhole

Also known as the Sunken Garden, this lush underground haven in Mt Gambier is filled with cascading greenery and magic at dusk, when friendly possums appear.

Whether you're here to unwind or explore, the Limestone Coast invites you to slow down, look closer and discover the beauty just beneath the surface.
