About Henley Beach
Henley Beach is a popular urban beach suburb located about 10 kilometres west of Adelaide's city centre in the City of Charles Sturt, South Australia. Centred on Henley Square and the 400-metre Henley Jetty, it features a wide sandy shoreline along Gulf St Vincent. Known for safe swimming, family-friendly amenities, seafront dining and sunset views, it is one of Adelaide's most visited coastal destinations and a long-established seaside suburb since the late 19th century.
