Why it's worth checking out
Marina Pier is a seaside dining and lifestyle precinct at Holdfast Shores in Glenelg, around 20 minutes from Adelaide CBD. Its waterfront setting combines cafés, bars, entertainment and a choice of restaurants, making it a place to eat while taking in the coastal surrounds.
The pier offers an array of cuisines rather than a single restaurant menu, so visitors can choose a venue to suit their occasion. The setting is a key part of the experience, with panoramic views across the marina and the opportunity to watch the sunset over the ocean. A stroll along Glenelg’s golden sands is close at hand, and dolphin cruises are also part of the wider Marina Pier experience.
For groups, Marina Pier’s restaurants can be used to tailor packages for birthdays, christenings, engagements, anniversaries and corporate events or functions. It suits visitors looking for a relaxed seaside meal, a scenic place to gather, or a broader day out combining dining with the beach and waterfront.
