Palm trees link the sandy beaches, coastal promenade and spacious plaza at the core of this coastal hub west of central Adelaide.

While in Adelaide, plan to visit Glenelg North, a scenic district lining the coast, with a lively marina and extensive views of the bay. The Patawalonga River meanders through the heart of the area, before flowing into Holdfast Bay at the southern end of the sandy beach. Appreciate the serenity in this picturesque spot away from city life.

Enjoy a tranquil stroll along the banks of the river, as you make your way toward Glenelg Beach. Lined with white, powdery sand and backed by a row of palm trees, the strand is an idyllic setting for a picnic on a pleasant summer day. The Glenelg North Beach section contains the Tarniwarra Reserve park and gardens, beside the Glenelg Wharf boat ramp. Lined by stones, the pier stretches out into the ocean at the delta of the Patawalonga River into Holdfast Bay.

Explore the shops and restaurants overlooking Moseley Square, a spacious plaza decorated by palm trees and benches. Stroll along the docks of the Holdfast Marina and the Glenelg Yacht Club and pick out your favorites from the lines of impressive and deluxe vessels.

Other activity hubs in the area include the Glenelg Baseball Club and the Glenelg North Community Centre. Practice your swing and play a few rounds at the Glenelg Golf Club and hang out at West Beach Skate Parks. Bring the kids for an unforgettable day out at The Big Wedgie water park.

Glenelg North stands in the southwestern corner of Adelaide, overlooking St. Vincent Gulf. It borders the coast, at the southern end of Adelaide Airport and just north of Glenelg and Somerton Park. Drive southwest from Adelaide’s city center for 6 miles (10 kilometers) to arrive here in roughly 15 minutes. Travel to surrounding landmarks such as Henley Beach, West Beach and The Grange Golf Club.
