Henley Beach suburb profile

Henley Beach is a relaxed seaside suburb on Adelaide's western coast, fronting Gulf St Vincent with a long sandy foreshore, a popular jetty and a busy esplanade lined with cafes and restaurants around Henley Square. The foreshore reserve and coastal paths make it a favourite for swimming, sailing, kitesurfing and sunset walks, while the streets behind the beach mix timber cottages and bungalows with contemporary beach houses and low-rise apartments. The suburb attracts families, professionals and retirees seeking a coastal lifestyle with convenient access to the city and regular public transport links.
