Glenelg Beach

Glenelg is a popular beach-side suburb of the South Australian capital of Adelaide. Located on the shore of Holdfast Bay in Gulf St Vincent, it has become a popular tourist destination due to its beach and many attractions, home to several hotels and dozens of restaurants.

Jimmy Melrose Park

Reviewed By M7025NQtonyw - Sydney, Australia

This park fronts the Glenelg Beach and therefore has a great view over the Pier and the water. A nice relaxing place to stop when you are exploring the Glenelg beachfront area it also has a small kids play area and a very photo worth sculpture of a love heart.

Patawalonga River

Reviewed By Pathfinder101 - Adelaide, Australia

"The Pat" is a scenic river at the back of Glenelg North that creates an internal harbour for our local boats as well as a stretch of water surrounded by grass and paths. The locals take advantage of either walking an extra block to walk along the beach or alternatively do a lap or two around "The Pat". "The Pat" has many grassed areas where you can sit and relax or for those more organised enjoy a picnic. "The Pat" essentially finishes at Tapleys Hill Road near the airport, and you are able to take advantage of the foot bridge across "The Pat" at this end for a unique experience. When the planes are using this end as the flight path for landing you can stand in the middle of the foot bridge and experience the planes flying directly over your head, wheels down ready for their landing. I reckon its the closest you can get to a full sized plane flying directly over you.
