    Makes me think of the South West Coast Path in the UK.

    Yeah, it looked off to me as well but perspectives can do weird things so worth a shot.

    The first thing that came to my mind as well was the so-called Land's End area in Cornwall, but I didn't have time to research it at work.

    Edit: that looks a good deal more rocky and rugged with steeper banks or cliffs.

    The vegetation in the foreground looks more like maquis to me, which makes me think it could be further South. Somewhere along the northern shore of the Mediterranean perhaps, or an island thereabouts. Got to say though, for all I know you have that vegetation in different parts of the world too.

    Unfortunately, you are all very off .

    Clue: This iconic and scenic beauty is located in the Southern Hemisphere.

    Most of Falklands is more barren, but there are places with that sort of vegetation.

    Seems like some place in the Mediterranean judging from the vegetation. Some Greek island maybe?

    Edit: Saw the comments of the OP, could maybe be on the coast of South Africa?

    You are very close but the place is neither in South Australia or Tasmania.

    So New Zealand would be a good guess judging from your last comment?

    Or New Caledonia (which is not very close, but close enough?)

    The Chatham Island east of New Zealand could be a match based on vegetation and shape of the beach.

    Well, Macquarie Island is quite lush in vegetation in despite of its rather extreme southern location.

    It is neither of the two, I have a food and wine rich region in mind.

    Given the totality of the hints provided here, I don't think the place exists, unless South Australia was understood as the specific state. I thought Australia was ruled out. There is some wine growing in the southwestern tip of Western Australia, near Perth.

    I guess you get this one, maybe I was too vague with this one....

    Yes, this specific picture depicts the Margaret River region which is a 2.5 hour drive south from Perth. The region has it all for any wanting the good life outdoors, especally natural scenery and food (Particularly the wine ).

    Thanks, realm56, and sorry all for the delay in posting a new one. By the way, I found a wine in my local store from Margaret River region and gave it a try. Not bad for the reasonable price!
