Gulf St Vincent Attractions
The much frequented bathing beaches in the Adelaide region extend for 32km along Gulf St Vincent from North Haven in the north to Hallett Cove in the south; the finest are Glenelg and Henley Beaches. There are boat slips at Marino, Seacliff, Brighton, Somerton Park, Glenelg, West Beach, Semaphore, Largs North and North Haven. Further south too, on the Fleurieu Peninsula, the beaches are clean and not overcrowded. There is safe bathing at O'Sullivan, Christies and Sellicks.
The best surfing beaches are on the south coast of the Fleurieu Peninsula, where there is a perpetual high swell coming in from the ocean.
