Glenelg Travel Guide

Adelaide
Glenelg Jetty featuring heritage architecture, a city and a square or plaza
Glenelg is Adelaide’s favourite beachside haven and is older than the city itself.

With all the hallmarks of a cosy seaside village, Glenelg is tried and true. Learn about the neighbourhood’s heritage at museums and galleries or see history etched into preserved façades as you explore the promenades and shopping strips. Holdfast Bay sets the stage for idyllic dining. If the sun is out, soak it up: Glenelg has a sublime beach where you can swim with dolphins, fish for a feed or stretch out with a picnic.
