What to do in Port Melbourne Beach? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

If you like outdoor activities, the Port Melbourne Beach can offer such an experience. In particular - SUP surfing. The beach stands out for an excellent base for this kind of sport. And the bonus is the gorgeous scenery from the water. Just try, we recommend it!

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Port Melbourne Beach welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.

Another beach along the stretch of sand between St Kilda and Port Melbourne. Easily accessed from the city via tram, and offering plenty of food and drink options nearby. Waves are typically gentle so safe for kids to swim at. If this doesn’t suit your swimming needs it’s a short walk to the next beach.

I spend every weekend meditating on the Pier, not many people around at that time, so it feels private. It is my little sanctuary for 20 -30 mins.
