Tunkalilla Beach is a remote Fleurieu beach break with a steep access road, a high car park, and a long straight shoreline that can produce lefts and rights when south swell and NNW wind line up. It is a surf beach rather than a casual swim beach, and the access and rip profile are part of the spot identity.

Live updates
NNW offshore and south swell are the clean combo, and mid to higher water is the safer starting point because the reef-controlled rips are easier to read once there is some water on the beach.
Use the steep unsealed road and the car park above the beach, then take the steep walk to the sand and back again.
The beach is not patrolled, and rips, undertow, sharks, and occasional large waves even on calm days are normal read items.
