Beaches
In Adelaide, the beach is never far away. Just a quick tram ride from the city and home of the Bay Sheffield, Glenelg welcomes you with open skies, salty air and a laid-back vibe that’s hard to resist. Wander the foreshore, explore Jetty Road’s cafés and boutiques, or hop aboard a twilight cruise to watch the sun melt into the sea.
Henley Beach is another local favourite, perfect for slow afternoons and sunset dinners. With its grassy square, buzzing restaurants and breezy seaside charm, it’s a top spot for catching up with friends or simply unwinding with a drink in hand.
Whether it’s a bite, a browse or a moment of stillness by the water, Adelaide’s coastline is full of simple pleasures. Want more beachside gems? Check out the guide to the best beaches near Adelaide and where to find the perfect beachside bar to match.
