Sunset at St. kilda beach

An enjoyable walk, you can have it anywhere, but walking on the beach while watching sunset got to be one of the best moments anyone want to experience. right?😉. The walk routes are all in great shape thus easy to walk around. Just be careful of the bike. Throughout the walk there always greenery, cityscape and glittering seawater to your left and right. #melbournetrip #sunsets

St Kilda Beach - Peaceful Winter Walk

#visitmelbourne #melbourne #stkilda #tripblazers #australia #beach You may only think of summer when you see beaches, but apparently it can be beautiful in winter, too! Staying not too far to St Kilda beach this time, I have the pleasure to do some morning or afternoon walks along the shore and it is peacefully satisfying. Not to mention it is where The Esplanade Sunday market is located. So if you’re in Melbourne, give this beach a visit! Plenty of restaurants nearby, too. How to Get There - take Tram 96 / 16 / 12 / 3a from CBD stops at The Esplanade. A$4.60.

#celebratewithtrip after visiting st kilda beach , I walked to Luna park which is an amusement park in Australia melbourne. however I didn’t go to the park itself and just took some pictures outside. you will need to buy an entry ticket if you would like to visit the amusement park. the exterior was quite welcoming and pretty. beside it there is a theatre called Palais theatre and the structure of it looks amazing as well. somehow it reminded me of europe too. would recommend visiting here at least once if you would like. and maybe try the amusement park if you have time as it seems to be quite fun and there was a huge roller coaster.

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!

Acland Street Car Show, Trip to the Past

#timetotravel #australia #melbourne #cars #vintage Acland Street, a historical stretch of street in St. Kilda area that is filled with restaurants and shops.

Check out some of the cars displayed during the show by swiping through some photos above. 📍 Acland Street Father’s Day Classic Car And Bike Show
