Brighton, Coastal administrative division in City of Holdfast Bay, Australia.
The suburb extends along Gulf St Vincent, featuring a long beach with a jetty located 14 kilometers south of Adelaide's central business district.
Following its establishment in 1849 with the opening of Brighton Post Office, the area transitioned from farmland into a residential coastal suburb.
St Jude's Church cemetery contains the final resting place of Sir Douglas Mawson, the renowned Australian geologist and Antarctic explorer.
The Windsor Theatre, constructed in 1925, continues to screen mainstream films and independent productions for local audiences throughout the year.
Each summer, a natural sandbar forms near the beachfront, creating specific conditions that local surfers utilize during stormy weather periods.
