An unbroken 28-kilometre stretch of golden sand means Adelaide beachgoers are spoiled for choice, but it’s hard to beat the vibe at chic Henley Beach. Dig your toes into the warm sand as you enjoy a scoop of dreamy salted pecan and maple gelato from Bottega Gelateria, then nab a balcony booth at restaurant HNLY on the second floor. Order a round of oysters and local sparkling as the DJ kicks the night off with some Balearic beats, then sit back and enjoy the show as the setting sun turns the sky the colour of a freshly-poured Bellini.
