Why it's worth checking out
The Glenelg Jetty sits at Colley Terrace at Glenelg, Adelaide's most popular seaside suburb. A much-loved local landmark, this iconic jetty stretches out over the water at the end of the bustling Jetty Road — a beloved spot for a stroll, fishing, taking in the sea air and watching the famous Glenelg sunsets, capturing the relaxed, classic seaside charm of the area.
The appeal is that combination of a quintessential seaside experience and a gorgeous setting: a walk out along the jetty, lovely ocean views, fishing, and one of Adelaide's best spots to watch the sun set over the water. With Glenelg's beach, the Jetty Road shops and dining and the historic Moseley Square all right there, the jetty is the natural heart of a visit to the seaside.
With a 4.7 rating from more than 340 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved landmark. The jetty is free and open, but conditions, any fishing rules and the weather vary, so it's worth taking sun protection and checking conditions on the day — though for a stroll, some fishing or a gorgeous sunset, you can simply head out along the Glenelg Jetty.
