Overseas tour Day 103 – Beachport

The morning started with a coffee & brekkie sandwich stop off at McCourts garden cafe in Millicent. Andy is pleased to report that his love of bacon and brown sauce remains strong!

From there we made our way to the pretty town of Beachport.

After checking into Southern Ocean beach park, with its views over the Indian Ocean, we went off to view Pool of Siloam. It’s a salt rich lake where floating comes easy and the high salinity is supposed to be good for aches and pains.

After a walk around the sand dunes and lake, we hit the Southern Ocean scenic drive, passing various blow holes, beautiful beaches and impressive rock formations.

Later we went inland to see Lake George, only to discover that it’s dried up and is now nothing but a salt basin.

Having taken a good look around the peninsula, we focused our attentions on another attraction in Beachport, which pleased Andy no end, the local beach brewery.

And welcome

The pub/brewery is well positioned facing out to the fishing pier with amazing views out over the ocean.

Andy was unsure of the local produce so thought it best to give each one a try…..

Another satisfied customer

Not only was the beer, food and view outstanding, the bar had good WiFi too!

Not a bad way to spend an afternoon

And to end the day we leave you with an amusing joke seen in the pub. Makes sense to some.
