    If are on the beach south of downtown, you will get a spectacular view of the Melbourne Skyline... if you take a look at the picture a little closer, try and see all the cranes on top of buildings! The amount of construction going on here in Melbourne is absolutely phenomenal.

    I do not think you can actually get a better view of Melbourne anywhere, like on the St. Kilda Pier. For more information, follow the link below!

    St Kilda is a remarkable place. It is situated on one of the most picturesque points of the Bay a short distance from the city with safe sandy beaches.
    St Kilda is also home of the Famous Luna Park. " The laughing face of St Kilda."

    I had heard so much about the cosmopolitan atmosphere of St Kilda that I wanted to experience it for myself. And I wasn't dissapointed. Just look at those cafe lined streets!! What a buzz!! The place was packed with people enjoying a Sunday lunch outside in the sunshine. I was taken up with the vibrant atmosphere! Even though I didn't stop to eat, I would totally recommend for anyone holidaying in Melbourne to visit this place!!.

    Sea Baths..
    by Sweetberry1
    In the 19th century, the St Kilda Sea Baths were used by a wide cross-section of society. Back then swimming at an open beach during the day was prohibited, and sea baths were the only option.

    The redeveloped facility is now called,
    The Hepburn St Kilda Sea Baths, and has upstairs and downstairs.

    Downstairs...public access facilities.
    A heated 25 metre sea water pool.
    Hydrotherapy spa pool.
    Men's and Women's steam rooms and lounge area.

    Upstairs is the private health spa area.
    Here you can indulge in the same treatments as those at the Hepburn Springs facility in Daylesford.
    Mud and seaweed wraps, facials, personal hydrotherapy and spas, massage, and flotation tanks.

    St Kilda Beach is very pretty and definately a 'must see' when visiting Melbourne. Don't do what I did, and get off at St Kilda Junction. I think that might be a few stops from the real St Kilda. Anyway, I ended up walking and walking, and finally came to the beach. But the sun was shining and I enjoyed the walk. When I finally arrived, what a lovely sight!! ...

    St Kilda is one of Melbourne's liveliest and most cosmopolitan areas.
    In the early days, St Kild was a fashinable seaside resort but it gradually declined. By the 1960s it was pretty seedy and its decadent image of faded glories (and cheap rents) attracted immigrants and refugees, bohemians and fown-and-outers.
    St Kilda has undergone an image upgrade, although it's still a place of extremes - backpacker hostels and fine-dine restaurants, sports cars and junkies. It can still be perilous to wander the streets late at night, particularly for lone women. The main streets, Fitzroy St and Acland St, are full of interesting shops and eateries.
    The St Kilda Festival in February is a showcase for local artists, musicians and writers, and features street parties, parades, concerts and lots more.

    St. Kilda: Summer Fun at St Kilda

    Besides the Melbourne City, it is also worth visiting some of the suburbs. One such suburb that worth visiting is St Kilda. Located east of the Melbourne City, St Kilda is not only a hip for the locals but also the visitors. Its lively atmosphere is the main draw for foreigners and locals.

    This cosmopolitan suburb is filled with diversity and surprises. Its main shops and eating outlets are found along Fitzroy and Acland Streets. For the young at heart, do head for the well-known Luna Park, where everyone can try his/her favourite ride at this popular amusement park.

    Summer is also a time where many people will visit the much talkabout beach at St Kilda. It's definitely a time at St Kilda to soak in the Summer fun.

    Also, don't leave Acland Street without trying cakes and the bakeries. The bakeries are well-known for their mouth-watering pastries in this area!

    St Kilda area was the first place I stayed in when I arrived in Melbourne. Everything fascinated me. It is a nice place to go because you have primarily the beach and then the famous Acland st where there are shops, restaurants and amazing CAKE shops. They serve the best cakes and cappucinos I've had, even if I lived in France I have to say this! Sorry Frenchies!!!
    There is an amusement park that it's very old and charming called Luna park.

    In summer there are outdoor tournaments held here for Beach volleyball and big summer festivals with bands.

    There is a large boardwalk that runs for Kilometers and in summer and winter it is packed with people, walking, running, riding bikes, rollerblading and pushing prams.

    St.Kilda is a great place to visit. Just a few minutes from Melbourne, and has a lot going for it. Fantastic beaches, beautiful promenade for relaxing walks, and lovely gardens along the beach.. And one of the best places for eating, drinking, and having a good time.

  • Directions: From Melbourne, take St.Kilda Rd. If you prefer not to drive, the tram is a good option.
