Glenelg Beach

Glenelg Beach is a popular urban beach in the suburb of Glenelg within the City of Holdfast Bay, about 11 kilometres southwest of central Adelaide, South Australia. Known for its wide white sand, calm waters, and historic Glenelg Jetty, it is Adelaide's most visited metropolitan beach. The foreshore features Moseley Square, shops, cafes and family attractions, making it a central seaside destination for swimming, leisure and dining.

Visitors can expect a wide, sandy beach with calm, shallow water fronting Holdfast Bay, backed by a paved foreshore promenade, lawns and Moseley Square. The historic Glenelg Jetty extends into the bay for walking and fishing, while the esplanade offers cafes, restaurants, shops and family attractions including The Beachouse. The area is flat and highly developed, with swimming areas, walking paths and views across Gulf St Vincent, especially at sunset.
