Glenelg
Glenelg, or 'the Bay' − the site of SA's colonial landing − is Adelaide at its most 'LA'.
Glenelg's beach faces towards the west, and as the sun sinks into the sea, the pubs and
bars burgeon with surfies, backpackers and sun-damaged sexagenarians. The tram
rumbles in from the city, past the Jetty Rd shopping strip to the alfresco cafes around
Moseley Sq.
Take the tram to Glenelg from the city or bus 167, 168 or 190.

dredged up from the original pier, and the spooky old sideshow machines.
