All about Glenelg
A suburb of Adelaide, Glenelg was the favoured summer retreat for South Australia’s wealthy families in the mid-19th century, and it has retained an easy grandeur even as it was slowly absorbed into Adelaide’s urban sprawl. Here, 1870s sandstone terraced houses stand next to 1960s apartment buildings in the streets lining its famous beach, and grand Victorian mansions are dotted around the neighbourhood.
Glenelg Jetty, which extends beyond the beach into Holdfast Bay, is the focal point from which everything else radiates. From the jetty, the palm trees and tall pines of Moseley Square and the heritage-listed Glenelg Town Hall mark the start of Jetty Road, the main road leading back to the city centre. The beach portion of Jetty Road is packed with hip shops and cafés, with even more hidden away on the side streets near the water. To the north of the jetty there’s a marina and restaurant strip, and to the south you’ll find more lovely beaches at Somerton, Brighton Beach, and Seacliff.
What are the top things to do in Glenelg?
Bay Discovery Centre
This fascinating social history museum is housed in Glenelg Town Hall, facing the jetty on Moseley Square. Here you’ll find galleries detailing the stories of the local Kaurna people and celebrating Australian beach culture. Don’t miss the great collection of retro bathing suits dating from the 1950s.
Historic mansions
Many of the impressive summer residences built by local families in the 19th century are still standing around Glenelg. You’ll find most of them along South Esplanade, south of the jetty. There are more mansions in the streets leading away from the beach. Grab a copy of the Mansions of Glenelg guide at Glenelg Town Hall.
Coast Park Path
The promenade along Glenelg Beach is just one part of a long walking and cycling path up and down the bay. From Glenelg the path runs 24 kilometres north along the coastline past Henley Beach to North Haven, and almost 14 kilometres to Port Stanvac to the south.
