Locks Well

Bramfield, SA

About this campsite

Locks Well is a stunning surf beach on the Southern Ocean accessible through a scenic staircase. It offers a spectacular ocean view from a level, solid gravel surface carpark, suitable for caravans and buses. A steep, sealed road with a hairpin bend leads to a lower level carpark, equipped with a shelter and bins. A stairway from this lower carpark takes you down the cliff to the enticing beach.

The lower carpark can be reached via a steep sealed road with a hairpin bend, which prevents this being used by larger vehicles. There is a level carpark at the bottom with a shelter and some bins. From the lower carpark, a stairway descends the steep cliff down to the beach.
