Welcome to Glenelg SA


Located only 10km from the heart of Adelaide City, Glenelg is a charming seaside resort set on the long sandy white shores of Holdfast Bay. Glenelg is the site of South Australia's original mainland settlement in 1836. Glenelg is not only the place to see wild dolphins, but you can swim with them and it's a must do whilst in Adelaide. When you swim with them you have an amazing and unforgetable interaction that lasts for a lifetime - book your swim (or watch) either at the Glenelg Information Centre, or direct with Temptation Sailing. Have a look at their webpage www.dolphinboat.com.au.

Walking dogs: Please be aware that dog poo is a major pollution source because most of it is washed to our local beaches through stormwater drains. Enjoy your walks, be a responsible dog owner and enjoy a clean, healthy environment. When walking in public areas, dogs are to be under effective control at all times. Effective control means that the dog must be under control by either being on a lead or it must respond to verbal commands. During daylight savings times, any dog on the beach must be on a lead between the hours of 10am and 8pm. When walking a dog in a public place, always carry a plastic bag to collect any droppings. Biodegradable dog tidy bags are available from Council Offices and in various locations throughout the City of Holdfast Bay.
