Largs Bay SC

Largs Bay is in the north western suburbs of Adelaide, approximately 15n kilometres from the Adelaide CBD on the western shore of the Lefevre Peninsular. LBSC has over seventy year’s tradition of being a family oriented club which nurtures sailing as a competitive sport.
LBSC is located in an area that offers a significant number of tourist facilities, shopping centres and restaurants.
The area is well serviced by public transport with buses and trains running within close proximity of the club. Several shopping centres are also nearby including the West Lakes shopping mall where most major retailers are located.
Largs Bay is a short drive from historical Port Adelaide, which is one of Adelaide’s major tourist precincts, "the Port" also provides shopping and service facilities.
