What it is

Moseley Square, between the end of Jetty Road and the jetty, is the heart of Glenelg, with the Town Hall of 1875 and the Pioneer Memorial. The beach stretches north and south along Holdfast Bay, and the jetty is a popular spot for walks and fishing. The Old Gum Tree, where the proclamation of the province was read in 1836, stands in the nearby suburb of Glenelg North.

Jetty Road, the main street leading inland from the square, is lined with shops, cafés and restaurants.
