Adelaide : Glenelg Beach

Winter is not the best time to visit any beachfront areas but since I only have a week to go till I have to head back to work, I took my niece to Glenelg --- a very popular beachside suburb in Adelaide --- just to be able to feel the Adelaide sand on my toes hehehe....

Named after Lord Glenelg (a former member of the British Cabinet), this beachside settlement was first established in 1836 and had now morphed into a tourist destination with numerous pubs, restaurants, shops, amusement parks, and even an indoor skating rink right near the jetty.

The 140-year old Glenelg Town Hall 

Glenelg also is home to high-rise developments, condo complexes, and 3-star to 5-star hotel properties. The main road where the tram stops is also the main shopping area and have a lot of specialized boutiques and cafes. A nice place for a stroll, a little bit of window-shopping, stopping off for a cafe latte.....

Despite the cold winter breeze, we were at least greeted with a nice sunset at the jetty so it was all worth the long drive.
