Greenly Beach — Attraction in Coulta

Greenly Beach is one of south Australia’s hidden gems and is definitely a must visiting place on the Eyre Peninsula for those who love swimming, paddling and especially surfing, with strong waves reach up to over 1 m.

The beach is bordered by bluffs with some reef toward the centre. Greenly Beach is backed by continuous active sand dunes extending up to about 800 m inland. The access road runs out to the southern end of Greenly beach and parallels the rear of the sand dunes, with 250 m high Mount Greenly immediately east.

Located in Coulta on the Eyre Peninsula – South Australia, Greenly Beach is just an hour's drive away from Port Lincoln and 30 minutes from the oyster-town of Coffin Bay.

From Port Lincoln, follow the Flinders Highway (B100), turn left onto a gravel road for 12km (there is a small sign) going straight to Greenly Beach. The first half are quite bad and after that the road becomes smoother... turn right when you are in line with Mount Greenly, where the road becomes incredibly bumpy with many holes in the road.

You cannot drive onto Greenly beach as it is only accessible on foot by a gravel road leading towards the sand dunes, and behinde the dunes, there's a beautiful beach at Greenlly with white sand and big blue waves crashing against it.

On the right hand side of the beach, past the large rocks, you will come across the main Greenly Beach rock pools. This is a popular photo spot with many photos captured here could be seen on social media or in the South Australia travel guides. There are some other smaller rock pools which are worth checking out. But it's advised visiting these at low tide as it can be dangerous when the tide is high and the water is rough.

Visitors can swim here, but the waves are strong and there are a lot of rocks in the water, so an approaching with caution is recommend.

Fishing at Greenly Beach is also popular for visitors, just take care of the rocks as they can become slippery when getting wet by waves.

Visitors also can have free camping next to the beach. There are free camping spots at Greenly beach overlooking the beach at the top of sand dunes with beach access, marked out above the beach with logs.

The best time to visit Greenly Beach would be in the summer months and at low tide. Be noted that the summer in Australia are December- February.

You can feel a bit isolated at Greenly Beach as there are no shops, no services and sometime likely no mobile signal. But for most visitors this makes the visiting retreat here even...

Amazing place to free camp, many amazing beaches. There is no drinkable water or toilet facilities near by, so bring some water. Beaches are accessible by regular two wheel drive car however road two beaches is dirt and has quite a bit of ruff corrugation. Make sure you camp along the edges to of the cliffs to get the best view. There is generally more than enough space in between people camping so neighbours won't annoy you. Bring some fire wood during the times there is no fire restrictions as there is not much burnable wood around. Can be windy and is usually cold...

Awesome place, I absolutely loved it. The locals I met were so friendly and generous and not to mention how informative they were. The whole area was clean and tidy, not a bit of rubbish anywhere, The council have been doing a great job of keeping this lovely place...
