Why it's worth checking out
Secrets by the Sea sits on the Esplanade at Henley Beach, on Adelaide's coast near the popular Henley Square and the beach. A much-loved restaurant, it makes the most of its lovely beachfront position — combining quality food and good drinks with a relaxed, characterful setting and gorgeous views over the beach and gulf, the kind of crowd-pleasing spot that's become a Henley Beach favourite.
The appeal is that combination of quality food, a good drinks offering and a beautiful beachfront Henley Square location, ideal for a relaxed lunch, a special dinner, a meal with friends or drinks with a sea view, especially at sunset. The gorgeous beachfront setting and a quality offering make it a real draw, and Secrets by the Sea has clearly won over a big, loyal following.
With a 4.4 rating from more than 800 reviews, it's clearly a popular, well-loved spot. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular beachfront restaurant fills up over weekends and at sunset, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly where needed before you go — particularly for a weekend, a group or a table with a sea view at Henley Beach.
