Great place to walk the family around a lovely lake. Gets a bit windy at times but generally worth being out and about on a nice day. See ducks, geese and swans whilst walking the dog.

South Melbourne Beach

Reviewed By nicdu1 - Melbourne, Australia

A wonderful spot to relax by the bay. This beach is tidy and calm, providing all beach goers with the perfect beach day out. There is a gated playground, volleyball nets, a pier and a brand new Life Saving Club. Nearby there is a strip of restaurants on Victoria Avenue, as well as Food Works and the #1 Tram Stop. If you choose to go to this beach, PLEASE do not to forget to pick up your rubbish on your way out!! :)
