Henley Beach: A Walking Tour of Adelaide's Coastal Paradise

Henley Beach, Adelaide, South Australia Walking Tour [4k-60fps] | Henley Square | Beachfront

Henley Beach is 15 minutes from the city and is one of the best spots to soak up the sun and watch it go down. Surrounded by a range of restaurants and centring around the bustling grassed Henley Square, Henley Beach is a must-visit destination whether you're after dinner with a view, a swim, or a glass of wine by the beach. The shoreline stretches as far as the eye can see, with plenty of space for laying out your towel or taking a dip and the sunsets around here are a sight to behold. It's the perfect place to take a balmy evening stroll before settling in at one of the many bustling restaurants and bars over-looking the ocean; check out Seasalt Society, Mia Margarita and Melt Henley to start.

Henley Beach was named after the English town of Henley-on-Thames, the home town of Sir Charles Cooper, South Australia's first judge. Cooper had a residence in the area adjacent Charles Sturt's property "The Grange", for which Grange Beach was named. It has been asserted that Sturt's suggestion of "Cooper's Beach" was rejected by Cooper, who gave it the current name.

The Town of Henley Beach was promoted in the South Australian Register in 1860 as being "free from all the noxious smells which have been cause of complaint elsewhere". The Register again advertised the township in 1874:

While admitted to be one of the finest in the colony, [it] has been somewhat neglected owing to the road not being made. The District Council and private enterprise, however, have overcome this...

Henley Beach lies between the suburbs of West Beach and Grange.

The 2021 Census by the Australian Bureau of Statistics counted 15,634 persons in Henley Beach on census night. Of these, 48.8% were male and 51.2% were female, with a median age of 44.

The majority of residents (72.9%) are of Australian birth, with a further 4.8% identifying England as their country of origin.

Henley Square is located behind Henley Jetty on the Esplanade. Other greenspace in the suburb is the Henley Grange Memorial Oval and John Mitchell Oval. Henley Beach extends the length of the suburb.

Henley Beach is serviced by Grange Road and Henley Beach Road, both connecting the suburb to Adelaide City Centre. Seaview Road runs along the coast.

Henley Beach is serviced by public transport run by the Adelaide Metro which provides bus services to the Adelaide city centre and Glenelg. The Grange railway line was extended to Henley Beach as the Henley Beach railway line in 1894 and the extension closed in 1957. There was a tram line from the city centre to Henley Beach. This was initially a horse-drawn tram, converted to electricity in the 1920s and ceased operation in the 1950s along with almost every other tram line in Adelaide.
