Verified September 2026
A well-planned Endless Surf resort for Adelaide from a team with URBNSURF experience. Hold the mid-2027 date loosely until construction is confirmed.
The Break Surf & Stay is a planned 100 million dollar surf resort on a 7.1-hectare tourism-zoned site at Tuit Road, Aldinga, on South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula, about 45 minutes by car south of Adelaide. The City of Onkaparinga Council Assessment Panel approved it on 2 May 2024. Its founding partners are Ben McCarthy, a founding group development manager at URBNSURF, Richard Sheppard, Leigh Gapp and Dwight Stuchbery. On 30 April 2026 the same panel granted planning consent for revised plans: a lagoon of about 12,000 square metres for up to 64 surfers at a time with Endless Surf waves up to 2.1 metres, a surf academy, boutique cabins, wellness facilities and a beach club, designed by Studio Gram. The project has a 5 million dollar loan from the State Government's Business Growth Fund, and the developer now pencils in first waves for the summer of 2027/28. It would be South Australia's first surf park.
An Endless Surf ES36 lagoon of 11,700 square metres, the pneumatic system at O2 SurfTown MUC in Munich. The developers describe A-frame lefts and rights of 2.1 metres and more, pulsing up to every 10 seconds, with rides of up to 18 seconds in single-peak mode or 9 seconds in split-peak mode. Water will be sourced and reused through managed aquifer recharge, and energy bought through GreenPower.
Adelaide surfers and visitors to the Fleurieu Peninsula and McLaren Vale, once it opens. The developers say it will cater for everyone from children learning to surf to professionals, and plan swimming pools, cabanas and nature play for families.
No prices have been announced; the developer says pricing will come closer to opening.
Nothing to book yet. Adelaide Airport is about 40 minutes away by car. Watch thebreak.com.au for construction milestones.
