I spent an afternoon at St Kilda Beach, the beach itself was a bit dirty and unappealing. I wouldn't go swimming there. The town center was really nice though!! Heaps of real nice cafes and bars .... go there!!

Been here numerous times, for the Sunday markets, to see the penguins, for a stroll and to soak up the rays, there's also plenty of bars/restaurants to feed your appetites, a must for any newbie to the area.

there was A LOT of people, so slighlty too crowded but lovely beach and had a great time there. people all around were very friendly and actually wouldnt have changed it for any other way.

Used to be better before all the revoltingly drunk Irish booze hounds infiltrated the entire suburb with their constant vomiting and defecating.

Whilst the penguins are a lovely attraction at the St Kilda pier, they will not be able to be viewed until early September due to the construction of the marina. The only alternative available during this time to see penguins is to visit Phillip Island (2 hour drive from Melbourne)

St Kilda Beach is one of the iconic locations for locals and visitors. It wraps around a bay, as boats bob, people swim and sun themselves. We were there on an April day, an un-seasonally long summer meaning people were swimming even then! The passing parade of people is fun to watch if you find a good posse, or join... More
