Tourists are usually content with spending an evening in the Adelaide Hills, but for those looking to do something glamorous and daring, nothing could beat a sunset at one of Adelaide’s beaches.

There are a number of beaches in Adelaide which have been rated as having some of the most stunning sunsets, including Glenelg, Semaphore and Henley Beach.

But for a true ‘wow’ factor, Brighton beach has no rivals in the city. With sweeping views over the water and surrounding cliffs it’s easy to see why this is one of South Australia’s most popular beaches with locals and tourists alike.

It seems there is nowhere else on earth quite like Brighton Beach when the sun starts to go down.   A panorama of loveliness unfolds right before your eyes. In addition to watching iconic scenery unfold further up the coastline at Maslin Beach , the extraordinary sight of the sun setting over Henley Beach can’t be beaten.

People flock to Glenelg Beach because of its location. The beach is located right next to the city centre so tourists can take public transport or drive down to see it during sunset hours. There are also lots of activities that people can engage in, like swimming and snorkelling, surfing and boating. There are also some bars and cafes where people can relax if they get tired of the beach.

If you’re looking for a more secluded spot, Semaphore Beach is another good choice. There are usually less people so it’s easy to have some privacy. It’s located next to an island which makes it feel cut-off from the rest of the world. There is also a network of trails in Port Adelaide where locals go on walks during sunset hours.

The ‘wow’ factor at Henley Beach lies within its location right against the city skyline. Being close enough to watch developments in the urban landscape while enjoying sunsets over the ocean works every time! The sun seems to kiss down into water before disappearing entirely, creating a unique sight.

Glenelg has lots of old buildings that give it an atmosphere that is distinctively different from other beaches around Australia due to its colonial history. The pier there is a great place to watch the sunset due to its vantage point and it’s a very popular spot for both locals and tourists.

Having been voted as one of Australia’s top ten beaches by TripAdvisor, Brighton Beach is a must see attraction, especially if you’re in Adelaide for a short period of time. According to locals, the best times to catch this brilliant phenomenon are early morning or late afternoon when the sun hangs low in the sky before dropping into shoreline at devastating speed.

There’s also Hallett Cove Beach, which is a good choice if you’re looking to go surfing.  But it’s at night that this beach really comes alive. What was once just a regular landscape turns into an oil painting with different hues of greens, reds and blues on display. The stars provide the perfect lighting if you’re not interested in watching the sun go down on another day.

Another famous spot is Moana Sands Conservation Park . It has some of the best sunsets because it overlooks water on two sides. You can also see Kangaroo Island from here – probably one of Adelaide’s most photographed attractions thanks to its unique wildlife encounters!

In Adelaide, watching the sunset over water from your local park has been proven to increase life satisfaction. Relaxing on your back with family or friends while taking in all that nature has to offer is an experience worth having during your next visit to Adelaide. Remember to take your camera with you so that on your way home you can capture some amazing shots of the sun going down over the water!
