Beaches

You're sure to find your perfect beach somewhere along South Australia's 4800 kilometre coast - even in the city. 

The Adelaide coastline begins 20 minutes away from the city centre, at the tip of the narrow Le Fevre Peninsula and ends at Sellicks Beach. In between are wide sandy beaches and blue waters, reefs, wetlands and estuaries, and the cliffs that glow with the setting sun.

Glenelg is Adelaide's most popular beach destination. It's always buzzing with people browsing through the hundreds of shops and dining at sidewalk cafés along Jetty Road, enjoying the beach and summer entertainment. This is where you can experience the thrill of swimming with dolphins, when you sign up with Temptation Sailing.

Brighton, Henley Beach, Grange and Semaphore all offer sandy beaches, great fishing jetties, eateries, cafes, restaurants and more. You'll also find fantastic playgrounds for the children, and live entertainment over the summer months.

A great way to get a sense of this 30 kilometre long stretch of sand, and where it turns into ochre cliffs is on a scenic flight.

Other great regions that are famous for their beaches are:

Limestone Coast
Fleurieu Peninsula
Kangaroo Island
Yorke Peninsula
Eyre Peninsula
