Several options beckon visitors to this sea side destination and you soon realise the potential to create your own adventure.
Abandon the city but not your desire for convenience. Think canvas sneakers, rubber thongs, sequinned roller blades. Hiking boots, walking poles and the complexity of peeing outdoors are not required.
Exhibit your muscles or your silly streak on the open air gyms parked at intervals along the paved highway. Beware the dodgy equipment though, as it can be as uncooperative as a toddler before child care.
Tired of dodging four foot mobile missiles and fur kids in argyle knits? Veer off the main drag onto naturally preserved laneways to the largely deserted beach.
Sadly there's no gold at the end of this journey. However, travellers can be self rewarded with sweet temptations at Semaphore. Semaphore Road, a destination in itself, has remained relatively untouched by ubiquitous chain stores dominating most popular shopping strips.
The only down side is getting there.Public transport doesn't extend well to the outer limits, but well worth the travel arrangements to indulge in a leisurely idyll.
