A Victorian man breached coronavirus restrictions by kayaking into South Australia without essential travel papers. 

Police said the man entered SA unlawfully on Monday, November 2 after travelling along the Glenelg River.

Officers were notified of the man's arrival and he was ordered to hand himself into a police station.
