offer a few shoppings centre locations in the ctiy. So we suggest
your first night stay either east of the city towards Glenelg

is plenty to keep the whole family amused such as; fishing charters,
sailing, beach volleyball and activities, walking trails, bike hire,
the famous Dolphin swim or watch or even a twilight cruise, reserves,
play grounds, BBQ areas, lots of history and an amusement centre.
Once you come here you won’t want to leave, so book your ticket
and come and see what Glenelg has to offer. Glenelg Sunset Market
