Sunset at Glenelg
Glenelg sits on the shore of the placid waters of St. Vincent’s Gulf which is protected from the vast and rough Southern Ocean on three sides with the Fleurieu Peninsula to the east, Yorke Peninsula to the west and Kangaroo Island to the south. The shores of Adelaide are blessed by near-white sand which gently slope off into the sea. Surfers need to go elsewhere.

Henley Beach
Henley Beach, located further north up the shore from Glenelg is much smaller and less touristy. Watching the sunset while sipping a wine at the Bacchus Bar is a nice way to end the day.

Glenelg Jetty Hotel
Glenelg sits at the seaside and is a 20 minute journey by tram. Jetty Road is the main street at Glenelg and accommodates a wide variety of restaurants, shops and bars. It’s a very popular and desirable area around Adelaide. Glenelg is also a small village in Skye and Lochalsh, Scotland.

Red Lighthouse
Originally situated on the Port River in 1869, this lighthouse was relocated near the Fishermans Wharves in Port Adelaide to commemorate South Australia’s 150th year during 1985.

Ozone Fish Cafe
Port Adelaide is not one of the most salubrious areas around Adelaide, but I thought the name of this less-than-inviting cafe was quite amusing.
