![]() ![]() style glitz here - we’re talking families, teenagers (this is the middle of suburbia, after all), groups of friends, dog-walkers, kite-flyers, chilled out crowds and open expanses. ![]() It’s a welcoming, fun-loving and wholesome beach: we’re not talking L.A. Other Semaphore attractions - summer carnival, The Palais, steam train, waterslide complex, carousel, playgrounds, jetty, cafes/kiosks.Īfter spending time in Europe, returning to Semaphore beach was like a little slice of Aussie paradise! (And a little bit of consolation for not being in London). When you park your car there is heaps of grass for brushing off the sand from your feet, benches for picnics, some trees and paths through the small sand dunes to the beach. The water is quite warm in summer and there is plenty of smooth sand to play games on. It has lots of sandbanks which keep water shallow and there are no rips or large waves. This beach has it all, including so much parking so close and free! Semaphore is really safe so is the best family beach. It suits all my needs, whether I want to run my dog, ride my bike along the esplanade, jog along the beach, sunbak, swim, jump small waves. Semaphore is a bit quieter than the tourist beaches of Glenelg, Henley etc, and is the most Northern (as well as Largs) before hitting Port Adelaide. This is my most local beach, albeit half an hour away, but is straight down 1 main road and the easiest for me to get to from the north east. There’s also a train near the kiddies park which does train rides. I just remembered that next to the waterslide complex there’s a massive undercover carousel. Semaphore really does come alive at night, there’s a big new park which the kids will love and also a skating ramp thingo. If you’re struggling for money then it’s probably not the best idea to take your kids here as it can be quite costly. There’s a ferris wheel, a sideshow game, kiddies ride, mini golf, jumping castle and waterslide. It’s pretty good considering the admission is free. Near the beach there’s a place called semaphore waterslide complex which my mum used to work at when I was a kid. The beach is pretty good but the only thing is that the water does get a bit mucky. which is great if you’re on a budget) There’s also plenty of food shops and there’s also a library. ![]() There’s a cinema there if you feel like watching a movie (mind you, the cinema is heaps cheap! 9 bucks per person. ![]()
