A new beach club, inspired by European resorts such as Mykonos and Nice is set to open up soon at the Glenelg beach.

"Thanks to the support from City of Holdfast Bay Council, we’re offering South Australians the opportunity to enjoy a beer on the beach in a relaxed and family friendly environment," says The Moseley’s Operations Manager Luke Donaldson.

The Moseley Beach Club will be open 7 days a week, offering 8 premium sun beds and 48 sun lounges. It will also feature a casual dining area, bar, live acoustic music week nights and DJs on the weekend, fitting up to 350 people.

A similar type of business venture was earlier proposed to take off at the Henley beach but was defeated by the public and local businesses who claimed the move would lead to the privatisation of our beaches and rallied against it.

The developers of this venture obviously based the idea on the European experience. The plan however, will be very difficult to succeed at this end of the world as weather conditions are very different to European where constant summer conditions last for six months compared to a much shorter summer season and frequent cool changes experienced in Adelaide.
