Brighton Beach

Brighton Beach sits on Beach Road at Brighton, a lovely seaside suburb on Adelaide's coast. A much-loved beach, it's a gorgeous, relaxed stretch of golden sand and clear water — combining lovely swimming with a beautiful setting near the iconic Brighton Jetty, a grassy foreshore and nearby cafes, the kind of classic, family-friendly Adelaide beach that's a genuine local favourite.

The appeal is that combination of a beautiful beach and a wonderful all-round seaside spot: the sand and swimming, the famous jetty, the foreshore for a stroll or picnic and the relaxed atmosphere all make it a brilliant spot for a swim, a beach day, a walk or a gorgeous sunset over the gulf. Its classic, laid-back charm makes it a real favourite.

With a 4.8 rating from more than 760 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved beach. It's free and open year-round, but swimming conditions, parking and facilities vary, and it gets busy on warm weekends and over summer, so it's worth checking conditions before you go, taking sun protection and swimming with care — while enjoying the beautiful sand and water at Brighton Beach in Adelaide.
