Swim at a city beach
Family favourite Glenelg Beach.
Spend the day in the sun at Adelaide's easily accessible city beaches (plus a few beauties slightly further out). They're known for their calm, clear waters, soft sand and incredible sunsets. A short tram ride from the CBD, picturesque Glenelg is a family favourite close to cafés and shops. To the north, Semaphore Beach is all about relaxation, with a rolling lawn foreshore and old-school amusement-park rides on weekends and school holidays.
Treat your tastebuds at Adelaide Central Market
Stock up on local produce at Adelaide Central Market.
Do your tastebuds a favour and get on down to Adelaide Central Market. With more than 70 traders under one roof, this enormous, historic market is your go-to for fresh produce and multicultural cuisine. Whether you're craving artisanal cheese, coffee or baked goods, fresh locally grown fruit and veg, or delicious healthy snacks, you'll find them (and more!) here. Part of Adelaide life since 1869, the market is South Australia's most visited tourist attraction.
