Kingston to Robe Coastal Drive
A giant lobster, coastal wine and a historic seaside town
The plan
The northern end of the Limestone Coast is all big skies, long beaches and small fishing towns. This drive links Kingston SE to historic Robe, with enough stops to fill a relaxed day.
Start beneath Larry the Lobster at Kingston, swing past the Cape Jaffa anchorage and a coastal cellar door, then roll into Robe to explore its working marina, heritage streets and famous Long Beach. It's an easy, scenic introduction to the coast above Coonawarra.
