What travelers are saying

Locals can be seen opening up their colourful bathing boxes to bring out beach chairs and table for meals and snacks and in the evening to have meals and wine to watch the often spectacular sunsets against the sea...

Luckily we had beautiful weather and enjoyed a few hours taking photos in front of the many colorful bathing boxes.

We took the tram to St Kilda Pier, walked around, hopped on a couple of O Bikes and made a leisurely cycle down beach tracks to Brighton Beach and saw the iconic beach boxes.

Nice to visit

It’s worth a visit just to see the bright coloured sheds. Would be even better on a clear day which is not always possible in Melbourne in August!

iconic beach of Melbourne

This is a colourful remnant of Port Phillip bay history. The Beach boxes are slowly disappearing. They are very expensive and elitist. I have an interesting painting of these this landscape.
