Our store at Adelaide’s premier beachside destination is conveniently situated right in the centre of this popular 7 day shopping precinct. It’s just a 5 minute walk from the beach and the same distance from Glenelg’s residential heart.

The Bay Discovery Centre has a great and informative museum upstairs. I went on one of the windiest days in Glenelg and it was a nice way to spend my morning! A fascinating insight into how Glenelg and Adelaide was established, Indigenous influence and how both have changed over the years. I never knew Luna Park was in Glenelg! It’s not an overly big museum, but allows you to read all the information on display in each of the sections. The descriptions took me on a journey and allowed me to picture life once upon a time in Glenelg and broader Adelaide. The front desk staff were very helpful and lovely. In fact I stayed and had a lovely chat to them. They are also happy to recommend places for a bite to eat/coffee. I would highly recommend visiting, as you will definitely come away with more knowledge than you came in the door with!

Had a fun experience with some friends! Great place to stop for some nachos, pizza or ice cream and play a game of mini-golf or have a sneaky slide session. Best part is they sell cinnamon donuts all year round and make their own ice cream. There were flavours I had never tried before like kinder surprise and Turkish delight and it was delicious! The staff are so kind as well which added to the experience

Best view of Glenelg beach. Food is quick, pup style menu and always cold beer. Great spot to just sit, relax and enjoy the views.
