When the kids were little we used to head to Normanville & stay at the jetty Caravan Park, either camping or in a cabin. We always had a great time.
The beaches from Normy to Carrackalinga are great for kids & dogs.
You can beach fish from Lady Bay all the way to Carry, Second Valley Jetty is not far away & neither are the rocks at Myponga Beach.
The cafe at Normy Jetty has recently changed hands & is apparently great & Yankallila Bakery is famous for its goods.
I think it is a better spot than Victor, less crowded & less commercial.
Cheers
