About Sellicks Beach
Sellicks Beach is a relaxed coastal suburb on the southern fringe of metropolitan Adelaide, approximately 47 kilometres south of the CBD in the City of Onkaparinga. With a population of around 2,700, it sits on the western coast of the Fleurieu Peninsula along Aldinga Bay. The area was subdivided in 1925 and has grown from a seaside holiday destination into a permanent residential community with a laid-back beachside character.
The suburb is known for its stunning beach, which historically allowed vehicle access on the sand, and the dramatic cliffs of the Star of Greece headland. Residents enjoy a quiet coastal lifestyle with local community facilities, while Aldinga Beach next door provides additional shopping and services. Sellicks Beach attracts retirees, families seeking affordable coastal living, and those who prefer a slower pace of life while remaining within commuting distance of Adelaide.
Sellicks Beach falls under postcode 5174 and is governed by Onkaparinga Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Mawson electorate.
