In 1895, Lambert & Rosa Christie established a farm across what is now Christies Beach. The area remained farming land until 1923, when Rosa Christie created the first subdivision .

Better road and rail links south of Adelaide soon brought tourists flocking to the coast. Before long, holiday cottages and shacks were springing up on Witton Bluff and down onto the beach itself.
