What should we check before a Sunday picnic at Port Noarlunga or Christies Beach?

Check tide, wind and swimming conditions before heading out. If you plan to enter the water, use a patrolled area and follow local signs.

Pack a picnic that does not depend on a barbecue being free. Choose a shaded spot and follow posted rules for beach and reserve use.

Check the local council's current park and foreshore maps for public barbecues, toilets and any temporary closures.
