About Christies Beach
Where to stay in Christies Beach
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Witton Bluff sets the outlook. Beds in Christies Beach are suburban rather than resort, and what they buy is a seaside street in the southern Adelaide metropolitan area with the sand at one end and the City of Onkaparinga around it. Photographers come for the view.
Witton Bluff looks out over the entire suburb and beyond, which is the reason the area draws them, and Bice Oval is the one other name the suburb puts on a map.
About Christies Beach
What are the main landmarks in Christies Beach?
One landmark carries Christies Beach. Bice Oval is the only entry on the suburb's register, and the ground that actually pulls photographers here carries no listing at all. Witton Bluff stands over it.
The bluff gives a natural vantage point over the entire suburb and beyond, which is why this stretch of the southern Adelaide metropolitan area turns up in so many pictures.
What is the history of Christies Beach?
No founding year survives on the record. Christies Beach came up as a seaside suburb inside what is administered as the City of Onkaparinga, at the southern end of the Adelaide metropolitan area, and the record keeps little else about how it started. South Australia files it by name.
What the suburb has instead of a founding date is Bice Oval and a shoreline under Witton Bluff, which together carry more of its identity than any archive does.
Where is Christies Beach?
Christies Beach runs along the sea at the southern end of the Adelaide metropolitan area, with Witton Bluff standing over the whole of it.
