Glenelg pick-up & information

Glenelg is a beachside suburb of Adelaide, located on the shore of Holdfast Bay; it is also one of the oldest European settlements after having its discovery in 1836. Now it has grown to a population of approximately 35,000.

There are a wide range of activities in Glenelg such as historical walks and trails along the beach, the town itself, the museums which offer even more information about the town’s history, and bus tours. There’s entertainment for families and tourists of all ages, such as the children’s amusement complex, the GU Film house, and of course, plenty of shopping.
