Why it's worth checking out

Shelly's sits on the Esplanade at Semaphore South, one of Adelaide's characterful seaside suburbs. With 279 reviews behind its 4.2 rating, it has built a strong following.

The appeal is a relaxed beachside kiosk cafe — a lovely spot for a coffee, a bite or an ice cream with the ocean right there, in the easygoing Semaphore area. Its foreshore location, close to the beach and the historic jetty, makes it an easy and welcoming stop for a day by the sea.

Cafe menus, specials and trading hours change over time, and it gets busy on weekends and in summer. If you're after something particular or specific opening hours, it's worth confirming the current details directly before you head over.
