Traveler advice

Getting around

Public Transport

Stop 26 is a bus stop just up the road (approx 75m). If you catch the bus on the east side of Seaview Road it will take you in the direction of the city, Glenelg, Flinders Uni or Marion Shopping Centre (depending on the bus you catch). If you catch a bus on the west side of the road it will take you in the direction of West Lakes shopping centre, Grange, Port Adelaide etc (depending on the bus you catch). You can also hire free bikes from the Henley Beach Library (head a little north, beyond Henley Square) if you want to go for a ride. The West Beach Surf Life Saving Club has free hire bikes too. See the City of Charles Sturt council website for info, location details and opening times: https://www.charlessturt.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?u=896 If you want to travel somewhere via the train, you can go to the Grange train station (7-10 minutes drive north along Military Road) or go to the central station in the city. See www.adelaidemetro.com.au for info re Public Transport in Adelaide (routes, fares, etc).
