Sellicks Beach is a coastal suburb at the southern edge of Adelaide's metropolitan area, fronting Aldinga Bay. Known to the Kaurna people as Witawali or Witawodli, it holds cultural significance as the site of a freshwater spring tied to the Tjilbruke Dreaming.

The area takes its name from the Sellicks Beach Estate, a 1925 subdivision developed by local farmers George and Robert Herrick. It was officially gazetted in 1993.

Today, Sellicks Beach is a relaxed seaside community with a post office, local shops, and a popular beach. It has a rich motorsport history, with motorcycle racing on the beach dating back to 1917. After decades of annual speed trials ending in 1953 and re-enactments in the 80s and 90s, racing resumed in 2017 after a 20-year break.
