Glenelg

Located only a 15-minute tram ride from the city centre, Glenelg is Adelaide’s most famous city beach. Long and sandy, the shore is popular among families as it’s also located near the Beachhouse amusement park. If you’re looking to spend a day filled with both relaxation and adventure, Glenelg is your go-to place. After soaking up the sun, pay a visit to the Moseley Beach Club, Adelaide’s first bar on the sand. Featuring a casual dining area, bar, live acoustic music and DJs, along with free entry and a kids corner, it’s the perfect place to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon. But if you’re in the mood for something a bit more thrilling, ride the iconic Ferris wheel towering over the promenade or slide down the heated water slides at the popular Beach House.
