Victor Harbor
- Only an hour's drive from Adelaide, Victor Harbor is one of the state's major tourist destinations. On the Fleurieu Peninsula, it nestles in a sandy curve of Encounter Bay. Because of its accessibility, the population swells on weekends and can increase up to 80000 during the peak holiday season.
