Glenelg Beach

Removed from Unnamed collection

Glenelg is Adelaide’s go-to beach destination, and it's not hard to see why. This spot has everything: a wide, sandy beach perfect for sunbathing, expansive grassy areas ideal for picnics with a side of ocean breeze, and a rich historical charm that seeps from every corner. The hotels are as inviting as they are charming, and the bustling shops and sidewalk cafes create a lively atmosphere. Whether you're catching a live show at one of the local venues or enjoying the street performances by talented buskers, there's always something happening here.

Strolling down Jetty Road is an experience in itself. It's a one-kilometer stretch of retail delight leading straight to the beach and jetty. Here, you can indulge in some retail therapy with a fantastic array of fashion and gift boutiques, shoe stores, swimwear and surf shops, along with art galleries and jewelry stores. It's a shopper's paradise with a sea breeze!

Glenelg isn't just a summer hotspot. No matter the season, there's a plethora of activities to dive into, catering to all ages. The Glenelg foreshore is a haven for kids, featuring a natural playspace where they can balance and swing to their heart's content. Moseley Square is a favorite, especially on hot days, thanks to its refreshing water fountains. For a touch of local flavor, don't miss the chance to try some fresh seafood at one of the many seaside eateries. And if you're there at the right time, the sunset over the ocean is a breathtaking spectacle you won't want to miss.
