#St Kilda Beach Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jul)
St Kilda Beach
#melbournetrip
St Kilda Beach has a certain undeniable charm. The sand is soft, the water is clear (well, clearer than most city beaches), and there's a real buzz in the air. It's clear why it's such a popular spot.
The beach itself is pretty small, and on a sunny day, it gets absolutely packed. Finding a spot to lay down your towel can be a bit of a mission, and forget about having any personal space.
If you're looking for a lively beach scene, with entertainment and people-watching galore, then St Kilda is fantastic. But if you're after a serene escape to soak up the sun and listen to the waves, there might be better options around.

Beautiful sunset at St Kilda beach
St kilda beach - Melbourne
This is one of my favourite free activity to do in Melbourne, this beach is so beautiful and there are so many restaurants around as well. You can easily spend the whole evening here to enjoy the beautiful sunset, there will be someone doing busking if you are lucky! I was lucky enough to enjoy the beautiful singing of one of the buskers and to enjoy the sunset at the same time.
Just to take note that it can get really busy here on a weekend, we drove here and had a hard time looking for a parking. We ended up park at one of the mall which is about 15 mins away.
There are many small shops around just outside the beach area, like ice cream shops, souvenirs shops and eateries. We had fish and chips at pink flakes and it’s so affordable! The portion are so generous, I think the fish and chips is nice, but not the salad unfortunately. The salad feels old and not fresh, so you can skip that when you’re here!
