Glenelg Pier

Reviewed By jrtakesontheworld - Australia, null

The Glenelg pier is an iconic part of the Glenelg foreshore. It's just long enough for a leisurely stroll on a sunny day. The clear water allows you to spot little fish darting around below.

Moseley Square

Reviewed By branham2016 - Adelaide, Australia

The last tram stop on the run from Adelaide CBD to Glenelg is Mosley Square. This is the central hub of Glenelg. Surrounded by cafes, fast food outlets and a major hotel, it is also home to the Australian Post Office, the Glenelg Pioneer Memorial and the Glenelg Town Hall with historical displays able to viewed at varying times throughout the week. There is easy walking access through to Marina Pier, Holdfast Shores which has a variety of popular cafes and restaurants, Colley Reserve used for many community events is close by as well. The ever-popular Beach House is also here. I enjoyed the casual walk taking in the atmosphere and see what had changed since I was last there. The extremely tall palms seem to have doubled in size – but that is probably my memory not recalling correctly. Jetty Rd, Glenelg also is easily accessible from Mosley Square with many shopping delights. The square features a water feature which randomly shorts water into the air and is an absolute delight to children during the hotter months. Mosley Square is not a destination by itself but more an access point for multiple other destinations in within the Mosley Square precinct. Well worth visiting at the end of a tram ride from the city and deciding where to go from there. Return? Yes definitely specially after a great tram ride.

Pioneer Memorial

A very beautiful, interesting memorial with all the history and names relevant to the area, very eyecatching from a distance so you have to visit it with a sombre view out to sea

Love the Oval and visit to watch the cricket and wouldn't miss our meals there for anything. The ground is a pleasure to view inside or out and if you're unlucky with the 1st team it's great to see the young ones dragging their bags to the nets. Meals are to die for, all lovely and freshly done, lovely friendly staff, has day specials but all meals are good quality for a reasonable price.
