A Day Out in Largs Bay

Nestled along the LeFevre Peninsula coastline, just 25 minutes from Adelaide city, sits Largs Bay, a charming seaside gem that seamlessly blends history, natural beauty, and a laid-back atmosphere. Whether you're a local or a visitor, this coastal haven offers an array of experiences waiting to be discovered.

Vergeside Markets: A Monthly Community Celebration

Plan your visit to Largs Bay to coincide with the Vergeside Markets—an open-air market that unfolds its treasures monthly (check their Facebook page for upcoming dates!). Wander through stalls adorned with handmade crafts, fresh produce, and unique finds beneath the open sky. It's a chance to support local artisans and immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere that defines this close-knit community.

Clever Little Picnic Trail: Intimate Jetty Rd Exploration

For a more intimate adventure, set aside time for the Clever Little Picnic Trail. This curated experience invites you to indulge in the very best of Jetty Rd. Your day kicks off at Clever Little Picnic, where you're handed a personalised tote bag or picnic basket filled with drinks, nibbles, a picnic rug, conversation starters, and a trail map.

The trail leads you to the renowned Floyd and Frankie, where mouth-watering toasties await, a local favourite that simply cannot be missed. With toasties in hand, continue your journey towards the beach, making a pitstop at another local favourite, Queenies Store, for a delicious takeaway coffee or hot drink.

Now, armed with your goodies, head down to the lush green lawns of Largs Bay Reserve, or stroll to the stunning white sands on the beach. Find a comfortable spot, soak in the breathtaking beach view, and indulge in your scrumptious treats. And the experience doesn't end there! After your picnic lunch, make a stop at the iconic Largs Pier, where you're treated to two glasses of the exquisite Lanes sparkling wine.

How long does this take? The collection of food and drink will take at least 30 minutes. While the suggested duration is 1-2 hours, feel free to stretch this delightful experience for as long as you like. Consider making a night of it with a sleepover at Largs Pier, choosing from their luxurious heritage rooms, motel rooms, or self-contained apartments.

Largs Bay promises a day filled with seaside bliss, community vibes, and a variety of experiences to cater to all tastes. Whether you're meandering through the Vergeside Markets, embarking on the Clever Little Picnic Trail, or simply soaking in the laid-back atmosphere, Largs Bay invites you to breathe in every moment. Plan your visit, support local, and live it up at Largs!
