With its long stretch of golden sand and gentle waves, it's ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and family days out. The nearby Adelaide International Airport makes it a convenient entry point, while the historic Glenelg tram line connects you to lively cafes, shops, and the famous jetty. Nature lovers can explore the West Beach Reserve or spot birds at the adjacent Patawalonga Lake. The suburb's low-rise holiday apartments and beachfront houses give it a laid-back, uncrowded feel, yet it's only 15 minutes from Adelaide's CBD and cultural attractions like the Art Gallery of South Australia. Local eateries serve fresh seafood and classic Aussie fare, and the weekly farmers' market at the airport precinct is a treat. Whether you're catching a sunset over the water or strolling the dunes, West Beach offers a peaceful escape with all essentials close at hand.",[10,13,15,17],{"key":11,"value":12},"Police","000",{"key":14,"value":12},"Ambulance",{"key":16,"value":12},"Fire",{"key":18,"value":19},"Emergency (International)","112",[21,24,27,30,33,36,39,42,45,48,51,54],{"key":22,"value":23},"Do I need a visa?","Most nationalities need an eVisitor or ETA visa (online, easy).
