When in Adelaide take a tram to Glenelg beach for the day..enjoy the ambience of the area..I had a leisurely stroll on the beach..and as it was a nice winters day sat and had coffee and apple struedel by the beach in a local cafe.there are so many early and modern houses along the waterfront here...in the main street are many shops and restaurants to enjoy..also at the tram terminus there is an exhibition "The Bay Discovery centre"in the local historic Town Hall of life from early settlement to today.Also see here the "Rodney Fox shark experience".
The tram journey is a short ride of about fifteen to twenty minutes from the city..
Catch train at tram terminus at Victoria Square near the fountain in the City.. Leave a Comment Directions: tram terminus is here right at the beach..for arrival and departure..

 GlenelgBeach by xuessium
Me & my gang spent about an hour on the sand, just sitting there and watching the world go by. Breathe the salty twang of the air; absorb the screeching of the gulls and sun-block yourself up for the sun!
For those who wanted more than just sun-sand-sea, you would find a flea market around Town Hall on the weekends, where local folks would display a sea of arts and crafts (paintings, hand-made jewelries etc) and other craps and non-craps for you to buy. Mingle and see what the locals has on offer for you. My lady friends had a swell time picking apart the bargains.
Getting around Glenelg is easy. Main street is Jetty Road (where all the shops, cafes and restaurants are) and you can travel along Jetty Road, completely FREE via the Glenelg Tram all the way from Moseley Square terminus to Jetty Road stop 19. Jump on and off the Tram at your leisure and never pay a cent!

 Glenelg Jetty by adelaidean
Its a great beach, where you can swim,fish or just sunbake.
Jetty Rd offers fantastic shopping, so dont forget to take your
wallet!!!!
There is an abundance or restaurants and cafes, so eating out is
definitely not a problem. Choosing what you want could be though!!!
For an icey cold beer, try the Grand Hotel right on the foreshore.
Getting to Glenelg can be half the fun...Try catching a tram in Victoria Square
and travelling there...The old trams are still running, and they are great fun. Leave a Comment

A tram (trolley bus) service runs from the centre of Adelaide to a beautiful beachside town called Glenelg.
It only costs AU$2.10 and you can purchase your ticket from the conductor on the tram once the journey begins.
The trams are made mostly from wood and leather which is quite unusual these days in this world of chrome and plastic we live in.
The tram ride is a good opportunity to meet locals and see where they live as you venture through suburban Adelaide towards the Indian Ocean
The trip takes about 30 minutes each way
Glenelg itself has a younger vibe than Adelaide city. There is a strong beach/surf culture with restaurants and retail shops to match. Plenty of bars, cafes and restaurants also.
