Glenelg is one of the best stops you can make if you're touring around Adelaide. Here there's an endless list of exciting activities and excursions for you to try out. So, here's a look at some of the best things to do while you're here.
Few things can beat a fun day at the beach under the hot tropical sun, and this is exactly what you get at the Glenelg Beach. What's more, the climate here is pleasant and mild – especially compared to the extremely warm climate that the rest of Australia is known for. You can take it easy here and watch the waves slowly lapping away at the beach, or you can enjoy a plethora of beachside activities. Things to do include surfing, beach volleyball, and swimming. As the day winds down, you'll want to stick around the beach to catch sight of the sunset – it's a stunning scene that will stick with you for some time.
If you want to immerse yourself in the local culture and do some exploring, Mosley Square is the place to be. If you've chosen a centrally-located option when it comes to accommodation, Glenelg has few better attractions than Mosley Square. For instance, if you're staying at a hotel like the Oaks Glenelg Plaza Pier Suites, the markets and fairs of the square are just a few minutes away. For the best experience, try to visit here during the weekend as that's when most of the local vendors will put up their stalls and have a variety of goods on offer. You can also hit up the nearby Mosley Beach Club in order to get some grub or to even enjoy a relaxing yoga session.
The attractions around Glenelg's beaches don't end there either. One of the best places to visit along the shoreline is the famed Glenelg Pier. From here you'll be able to watch ferries and boats travel across the vastness of the ocean with the sound of the waves and the breeze for company. It's also a great place to visit with the family for a picnic or outing. Also, be sure to stick around till the evening in order to enjoy an amazing sunset from the pier.
If you're looking to nab yourself a new top or perhaps a souvenir to remember your trip by, there's plenty of places you can visit in Glenelg. Of these, your best would be the shopping precinct found along Jetty Road. This place is host to well over 300 boutique stores that peddle all kinds of different goods. These include unique fabrics, hand-crafted jewellery, and all manner of trinkets. In short, you're more than likely to find something to take home with you here.
While you're here at Jetty Road, be sure to try some delicious roadside eateries as well. These restaurants serve up some of the best Australian food you'll find in the city, alongside a host of international dishes as well.
