West Beach to Glenelg Wharf

The West Beach to Glenelg Wharf walk is a one-way walk starting from the car park off Seaview Road, West Beach. West Beach is home to many water sports activities and boat launching. West Beach Surf Cafe has pet posts and parking for customers. On one side, you'll be met by panoramic views of St Vincent Gulf, while the tall buildings of Glenelg and a coastal Ferris wheel present themselves on the other side. Sunbathe, take a dip in the cool waters, or simply enjoy the journey. There are four wind turbines along the way, each one different from the others. Watch out for currents and rips, as well as naval wildlife. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
