We went to Glenelg beach and it was so lovely. You could walk for miles the sand was lovely and soft and the sea was beautiful and clear. On the beach when we was there beach volleyball tournament was on and so many people were watching! it was good fun.
Along on the promenade was an indoor play centre, shops and cafes but no vehicles could go on the beach or along the promenade.
We did go to another beach can't think what it was called though! But you could take your car on the beach, which was useful as saves carrying the BBQ etc... And it was a windy day so used the car as a wind shield.
We swam with the Dolphins at Glenelg as well with a company called Temptation sailing, the boys loved it.
The beaches are real Beuts! and i'm sure you will spend many happy days on them
SANDY! sorry couldnt resist it
donna
im sure someone will be able to tell you lazy cow often walks her dogs on beach so she should know
Well, I think Donna's summed it up really! They are sandy, but they also have water all the way along then. Which is handy if you fancy a paddle...
WELL,I can't really compare them to any other state's beaches, but they are very nice. They tend to have vaste expanses of golden sand (thanks in part to the yearly re-distribution of sand carried out by the council!) with varyingly blue sea 'attached'. There are beaches that are stony, but they seem to be in the minority. Don't know what to add really...you often see dolphins (or are they....!), sometimes rays, the odd dead penguin, some interesting shells (I'm guessing Shell beach would be best for that)...sometimes the sea is so clear you can chose the fish you fancy from the jetty, Noarlunga is good for diving,often spot pelicans and things, er er...can go digging for clams (heaps of fun- it's all in the hip movement!)...
Oh and there are lots of beaches you can drive onto, but they generally recommend using a 4x4. We went down to Goolwa with friends, and despite advice one (Aussie, well they all were) went down in his Commodore,,,and got stuck, much to everyone's hilarity!
I'm not sure I've been very helpful, but I did try!

With regards to the beaches, what has been said is spot on really. Although Sempahore way there can be a lot of dead-sea grass that washes up, however this does not detract from the beauty of the beach or the sea. Plus we hardly ever see any rubbish and if there are any bits people just pick it up and pop it in the many bins along the sea front. Oh yes and some of the shells that wash up are amazing.
My oh my Mrs T.!
How very helpful and positive your post is. I could not have phrased it more succinctly myself.
Love and fluffy bunnies to you all.

Watching the sun lowering its self into the sea and feeling the temperature drop just a little. Walking along the sand looking out to sea watching Dolphins it makes all the problems of the day seem so small.
Not in a bad way you understand.
