Whatever the weather, a stroll to the end of the jetty is an absolute must - blue waters, fish swimming, beautiful views up and down the coast! Just a jetty - what you see is what you get. Not to be missed, it's an essential part of visiting Glenelg!

There's not much else to do at Glenelg in the early evening, but wander along the jetty. It was an OK experience.

A lovely place to watch the sun go down. Watching all of the people is fun. Fancy a spot of fishing or maybe take a stroll after dinner??

The pier is close to the hotel which meant the kids could walk and play. The beach is great and dogs are allowed. Pelnty of action and fishing was pretty good as well.

Beautiful beach front to be enjoyed especially at sunset. Wear a jacket if the southerly is up. Take a camera for the sunset.

Its a popular walk for all tourists ... & watching the kids jump off is a fun day. The people of Glenelg are very friendly and the pier should be experienced

This beach was great! They keep it really clean - although there were HUGE piles of seaweed - they almost looked like rock formations they were so big. Not a top beach for us on this adventure - but we did enjoy our time there.

Walked the pier on a cool windy day. Not a lot to do unlwss you want to fish or just like standing in the cold watching the see. Would be good if they could put in a few more seats for people to sit on and enjoy the view.

Great fishing off the jetty. The local bottle shop gave me a great tip...in the absence of bait, soak bread in a tuna tin and it works a treat!
