Closest avaliable beach you can reach from the CBD. It's a very large beach if you include the entirety of it. Water doesn't get too rough here, but as a result of being too close to the ships and mouth of the Yarra, it's got a few problems even compared to the other nearby beaches in the bay. The water quality is not that great because the storm water drain runs literally right off into the water and lots of jet skis and boats come zooming past, so I would not go for a swim with my head below water that's for sure. Also there is a reef nearby so lots of shellfish shells wash up on the beach so if you're not wearing shoes, you have to watch your step both on the sand and in the water. Lots of jellyfish here as well, so if you're allergic be cautious about that.

My favourite city beach. Sun, sea and sometimes sunshine. Doesn't get overcrowded. There are kiosks, cafes and public toilets within easy walking distance along the shared pathway.

It has a kids area. It is good walking around. But it doesn't have facilities. Vic government should add more facilities e.g. public toilets, sit area....

I had such a great time exploring the stunning Port Melbourne Beach over the summer. The view was incredible, the breeze was refreshing and the best part is that it's free for everyone to enjoy! It's just one tram ride away from the city - making it so accessible and convenient.

Beautiful beach to watch the sunset. It was very windy when we went so not too crowded which was a plus to allow us to explore. We were able to find roadside parking and had easy access to the beach. There were two toilets but not very clean. Also lots of shells on the beach so be careful!

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.

Always come here for a swim 🏊‍♂️ 😉 🤪 🙌 it's therapeutic ❤

it's a nice beach to bring your dog

One of the best beaches in this area close to public toilets and nice cafes and restaurants

Great beach for swimming walking relaxing fishing with nice views right around historical Station Pier nearby food store outlets station Pier hotel and shopping Central close by are here nice clean sandy beach clean water full when the weather is right.

Good place to see different kind of landscapes. From beaches to playground for the smallest. Besides, its easy to find good restaurants and pubs close. So, after a good swimming or riding, you can just enjoy a good meal and beverage. The other advantage is you can do it alone or in family. Excellent place.

Look it's a nice place to visit any day. If you're lucky, you may see a ship come in or out from the docks. Seems to be very well maintained and there are Volleyball nets up on the weekend. No waves as it is a bay beach.

Excellent view

Australia is full of beautiful beaches but this is not one of them. The landscape is frankly not pretty and the water is cold. However, it is still pleasant to be able to sunbathe just 20 minutes from the city center.

Nice and clean beach in Melbourne. A long walk pathway to experience the ocean is also built. Nice volleyball nets so you can enjoy.

Wonderful beach for a swim to lie in the sun or to take photos at sunset. Garry Aspect Property Photography https://www.aspectpro.com.au/

Love walking to this beach in the evening in summer. The sunsets are unreal and there are some great little restaurants off the main promenade. (Not a swimming beach really, however).

Just lovely.

Awesome clean beach, but still wondering why nobody turns out there, less visitors

Great beach especially if you have dogs! Dogs basically rule the beach

chill place with great sunsets

The views are lovely at sunset. It's a nice way to wind down after a day at work. Walk along the beach , anytime of the year, metered car parking available. we enjoy taking our husky and shitzu, as close by also has an off dog beach. There are plenty of restaurants and take away.. Or just bring yourself and a bottle of water and enjoy the walk If it's hot ensure you are well protected and have water, as the walk is long & heatstroke here hits you very quickly. It can get very cold at night and windy, but it's a quiet place generally.

Nice shallow beach, perfect for kids! Beautiful sunset by the beach 😍

It was so relaxing to be there in the evening. The place is stunningly beautiful. Loved staying on the lagoon pier. Friendly, smiling people walking along the beach, and many cute doggies playing around!!!! It was super great!

Close to the city beach with lots of facilities. Pro-tip: Get some fish and chips to eat on the beach and enjoy the sunset!

Come to the beach with friends to enjoy this sunny weather ☀️🙌

Calming and Beautiful Beach. Even though, I come in unappropiate time, rain about to hit, still a really nice and only 30 minute-ish from center (CBD).

Great family beach with a small pier. Lots of great cafes and restaurants nearby can make a day spent here quite enjoyable.

Beautiful spot for an evening walk

(Translated by Google) This is not a special beach, but at sunset, good photos can be taken on this deck. It ’s not the beach with fantastic sunset but you can take some nice photos on the deck during the dusk. (Original) 這不是一個什麼特別的海灘，但日落的時候，在這個甲板上可以拍到不錯的照片。 It’s not the beach with fantastic sunset but you can take some nice photos on the deck during the dusk.

Love how clean the beach was, how beautiful the water was & parking was surprisingly easy. EXCEPT FOR THE OUTRAGEOUS PRICE OF $5:40 AN HOUR to park on the street along the beach. But apart from parking being highway robbery the kids & I had an absolute ball. :-D

It's ok, bit pretentious with the locals, the beach was nice, clean and not busy for a Friday.

nice place to visit with family

The beach is beautiful. But the Bluestone wall smells like urine. Brutal on hot days. Pressure washers are needed! 🤢🤮

Nice beach with lots of space even on busy days.

Stunning morning sunrises and evening sunsets, along this excellent beach, during winter, spring and summer.

Perfect photo spot with beautiful sunset view!

lovely

Nice beach for a stroll.

Not as busy as St Kilda beach, and I do appreciate being able to sit under the shade on the sand when the sun gets too hot. The children loves jumping off the jetty, supposedly to try to get to the fish 🐟 Tram 12 from the city will bring you there. It’s the last stop, so you won’t miss it.

Beautiful place to visit all the time. I visited this place in the windy evening. It was good atmosphere then. Roadside parking is available here. Also there are some restaurants to hangout.

I’ve been coming to this beach my whole life. It is a beautiful beach, with not many people. The area is nicely maintained and there is a separate pathway for bikers. I do wish there were more public bathrooms around.

It's normally a great spot for a day out with the kids. But we went a few days after some big storms. The water wasn't the best quality. It was brown, with rubbish floating in it. Kids love picking up shells, Extremely busy during school holidays in the heat, it's a good idea to leave early to get parking.

Average beach, I was planning to relax with my husband but some neighbors played very loud nasty music and shouting instead of talking 😅 they reminded me of the beaches in lower class neighborhoods in South America 🥲. Beautiful people, let's not do what we did at home, we are in a first world country, let's be better citizens so as not to cheapen our culture 🫶🏽

clean and soft beach

so beautiful, nice vibes

Beach near Melbourne Very food to take a bath without moving too much

Great beach for dogs and families with great amenities and the best ice cream options going round!

Port Melbourne beach is located in the suburb of Port Melbourne in Melbourne. This beach is just a few kilometres from the south-western end of Melbourne’s CBD. I went there by carnival cruise

Awesome clean beach, but still wondering why nobody turns out there, less visitors

Very nice to chill and refresh Not big, but comfortable.

Good to watch sunset walking along the pier. Also good when Spirit of Tasmania comes in

Love this place, specially on a full moon night...

A great beach to relax and refresh...

Nice calm beach to spend your evening

Lots of history in this place. Nice place to walk and breathe in the sea air . Close to Bay st shops and loads of eateries and cafes that know how to make coffee. My grandparents had a dairy farm in Port Melbourne 90 years ago and I remember when there was a pub on every..yes every corner. My how its change. Yet the beach is still here and clean. Thank you to the people that clean the beach and keep it a safe place to come and reconnect with nature in the middle of Melbourne. So grateful. Thank you

Awesome beach! Best during sunset...!

Very peaceful

Just mesmerizing

Excellent place to spend some time in city

A concrete beach could be more fun than this.

Lovely place can go shopping as well. Great clean sea air.

Good place for hot day

Very nice place no waves

Beautiful beach

Different

Beautiful beach.

Lovely beach, less crowded than St. Kilda. Beautiful views.

Nice, calm and full of serinic beauty. One of the cleanest beaches nearby to a port. Nice for a morning or evening walk and a plave to watch the spirit of Tasmania getting loaded. The currents are also quiet with crystal clear water.

Beach volleyball nets provide a great way to do some exercise with friends!

Favorite childhood beach. Nice place to sunbathe.

Water flatter than a pancake

My grandchildren loved playing at the play ground.

A great stretch of beach that's close to the city and easy to get to. Four hour parking on Foote St, where there is a wide stretch of sand between the water and the road. A great place to float in the calm waters, and watch the boats go by.

I love the beach but if you take the time to look closely, look into the sand. It doesn't take longer than a few minutes to collect a handful of micro plastics. I wish Australia was doing something about this. Every time I come here I can't turn my eyes away from the plastic.

Not too crowded. Great family-fun place.

Beautiful beach, south Melbourne beach is much better than St. kilda to me, although I miss here restaurants and place to sit and drink.

Always an amazing place to come. Peaceful and calming. ?

Clean, quiet beach with enjoyable walking/ cycling opportunities and good public transport.

Fabulous ???

Hi nbbnn wasr

Clean serene.. be it nice walk by the beach or play in the water.. friendly neighbourhood!

Nice place

Always nice.better than stkilda

Chilling the feet

Must visit place. Beautiful view point at sea pier

Nice view and good spot for finishing

Heaven at Beach??

Sunshine, blue sky and soft sand!

Good place to go for walk

Great beach , clean and super awesome crowd ?

Very good ...

My favourite beach in Melbourne.

(Translated by Google) It's the best place for swimming because it doesn't get too strong and it doesn't go too far. But there is no shade because there is no tree .. If you are not the one who takes the parasol, it may be a little embarrassing ^^; There are about 10 beach volleyball courts and you can see people playing from dusk. (Original) 물살이 거세지 않고 꽤나 멀리까지 수심이 깊지 않아 물놀이하기에 최적의 장소입니다. 다만 나무가 없어 그늘이 하나도 없어요.. 파라솔을 챙겨오는 분이 아니라면 조금 당황스러울수도^^; 비치발리볼 코트가 10개 정도 있고 해질무렵부터 경기 하는 사람들이 보입니다.

My favorite place in the city.. Love hanging out here..! ❤️❤️

Great little beach with showers, toilets and cafe near by. Enough paid parking available.

Beach isn't too bad. Quite shelly and some rubbish can be found, but not as bad as other beaches in the area. There is definitely no surf here but it's still patrolled and there are still flags to swim between.

Great place to visit

Clean :)

Clean extensively well presented sandy Beach to take family home and friends. Parking available.

Nice beach, close to the city

Nicer and quieter side of the beach

Dirty and overcrowded

Great place for a walk, clean and beautiful. Easy access for car park and public transport ( Tram no.1 )

Great place but could benefit from more rental features such as bikes or equipments

Good place to visit there is cold wind flows ... Those who are not use to cold pls carry jacket

It's beautiful beach

Remarkable

Great place to take dog for a paddle

Beautiful and clean beach. Usually not crowded and hence can spend quality time there with family or friends. Has a kids' playing area and also beach volleyball facility.

There’s sandy parts also. Lovely to go swimming

Very peaceful this time of day

#sidsnanotek MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA. BUSINESS Visit @ 2015

Great

Nice stroll at the beach. With playground and beach volley nets. A bit of everything. Many restaurants close by

This beach felt to me more relaxed , parking available, has public toilets.

My favourite beach in Melbourne

Love it mainly for beach volley

Great beach plenty to do and see

Great swimming

Perfect for a day out

Beautiful beach. Loved the shallow waters for kids to play. Lack of enough toilets around the area.

Great beach close to town. Check the EPA water quality after rain (as for all beaches on the bay

It doesn't matter whether you are looking for a stroll along the Pier, or a chance to eat at a nearby Cafe, a picturesque place; with plenty of activity!

Perfect Beach with good food

Just a normal beach. Nothing really exciting

Nice to visit the beach today after restrictions have eased. A great beach, lots of space

(Translated by Google) It's a very comfortable place. Easy to reach with good tram access. It is a beautiful sea that can be reached immediately from the city center. (Original) とても心地よい場所です。トラムアクセスもよく、行きやすいです。都心からでもすぐ行ける綺麗な海です。

Excellent beach, spacious, never crowded, awesome sunsets!

Late night with Stars and you Damn good 😌😊

Beautiful

Here is my review of Port Melbourne Beach - cross-posted to TripAdvisor and Facebook. Port Melbourne Beach is a safe and clean beach, popular with locals and tourists alike. It is sandwiched between New Beach and South Melbourne Beach. The Port Of Melbourne can be seen from here as well as the West Gate Bridge. Station and Princes Piers are within walking distance, and the Spirit of Tasmania docks in this area too. Parking is found along the foreshore and nearby streets - be advised check for permit zones [can't park there] and car park pay stations [may need an app, credit card or coins]. There is a tram stop in the vicinity of this area - Number one. It is the perfect place for beach tennis, exercise, photography and swimming. It is family-friendly, and parts of the beach allow dogs off the leash certain time of the year, so be sure to check 'Maps Melbourne' or signage as you enter. There are plenty of benches to sit on, small rotundas to shelter under or watch the ferry come in/leave plus small cafes scattered along the foreshore. Recommended items to bring if swimming - towel, hat, flip flops, insect repellent and sunscreen.

Great beach to relax and enjoy the views. Am looking forward to go swimming here again once lockdown is over.

Not alot of places to go with this lockdown. Glad we could still get a bit of fresh air from the nice beach. The fishing pier looks amazing and the water is clear and clean.

Great views.

Awesome beach for swimming walking relaxing fishing with nice views right around historical Station Pier nearby food store outlets station Pier hotel and shopping Central accessible are here nice clean sandy beach clean water full when the weather is true .

Beautiful lookout

Beautiful Port Melbourne Beach.

Love love Port Melbourne.

peace

beautiful

(Translated by Google) Port Melbourne Beach is a beautiful beach facing Port Phillip Bay and is a popular spot for many tourists and locals during the summer beach season. It is easily accessible from the city centre, and you can reach the tram No. 1 from Flinders Street Station in about 20 minutes. 3 minutes from the Beaconsfield Pde / Victoria Ave stop. The water quality of Port Melbourne Beach is so clean that I can't think of it as a beach in the city. If you are tired of exploring the beach, there are cafes and so on, so you can spend time slowly. It is also a spot where you can enjoy the sunset and the night view, and it is a wonderful beach. A place you want to visit with family and friends. (Original) ポートメルボルンビーチはポートフィリップ湾に面した美しいビーチで、夏の海水浴シーズンには多くの観光客や地元の人々で賑わう人気のスポットです。 市内中心部からのアクセスも良く、フリンダースストリート駅から1番のトラムに乗って、20分程で行けます。Beaconsfield Pde/Victoria Aveという停留所で降りて、そこから3分程です。 ポートメルボルンビーチは水質もきれいで、街中にある海水浴場だとは思えないぐらいです。ビーチ散策に疲れたら、カフェ等もあるので、ゆっくりと過ごすことが出来ます。 夕陽や夜景が楽しめるスポットでもあり、素晴らしいビーチです。家族や友人と訪れたい場所です。

It's a lovely beach,great place to relax & enjoy the walks along the beach, making it a regular visit every month, love the food there. It's also dog friendly.

Best beach in Melbourne, the water temperature is good and its so Clean

Such a beautiful place for running, walking & cycling. Windy but a calm place with good view. There are restaurants close by. Reasonable and good to hang around. Not crowded at all.

Great place to spend the day at a nice beach with less traffic and people than St Kilda. Great food around. Plenty of parking.

What a lovely view !! You got places for kids to relax around. Cafeteria nearby. One of my most loved beach in Melbourne.

Great for sunset photos over the bridge!

Brilliant place to go to after work to wind down. Perfect for a mid week drink. Excellent service and a great atmosphere.

Good place for relaxing

Nice beach with excellent view and relaxing...

Walk way was really pleasant.

Nice to chill and watch the boats

Guys explore this place when you there.

A beautiful place with a great view.

There was rubbish absolutely everywhere... do people not realise how dangerous this is to sealife 😔

Great beach. Wasn't overly busy. Had enough space to choose a nice spot to play music and sunbathe. Extremely close to public transport (Number 1 Tram from the city)

Beautiful and calm

Best inner city beach

Great beach for kids

Clean and nice view of port Melbourne and Kilda area

Very Pretty along Port Melbourne / Great place to visit!!! Especially if you want to jump on the boat to Tasmanian!! / Plenty of restaurants along the foreshore if you want to eat out!!

Nice, it was warm and sunny, not too busy yesterday. Very pleasant

Beautiful beach very close to Melbourne CBD. just grab the number 1 South Melbourne Beach tram and get off at the last stop and it's right in front of you. Street parking is available as well but be prepared to pay quite a bit for those. There's quite a few handy places to eat in streets nearby. There's a kiosk selling ice creams, sandwiches and coffee etc. Convenient, beautiful and well serviced.

Beautiful clean beach. Good vibe especially during the summertime. Beach volleyball, dog walking, people strolling. Easy access by tram no. 1 from the city centre.

I really enjoyed beach stunning views of the Melbourne skyline, especially during sunset. Watching the sun sink into the horizon while relaxing on the beach is a truly magical experience.

Very nice place to relax and enjoy with fresh air and views

Top Gegend, am Wochenende ist hier viel los. Man kann die Fähre nach Tasmanien bestaunen, oder etwas Geld im Casino gewinnen

One of the best beaches in Melbourne city .. such luxury … the beach needs more things to do .. gotta admit on a hot day it’s good but sunscreen is needed.. and maybe a dedicated event for kens get all the Kens in the area to re create the ken song barbie scene.. Cheers Jazy!

One of the quieter beaches close to Melbourne. Beware of off leash dogs. Most seemed friendly but almost all were untrained and unsupervised. There are leash laws for a reason, yet everyone on this beach let their dogs run up to and jump on other unknown dogs and all were off leash.

Not a bad beach as long as it's been nice weather. My daughter often spots star fish here

Absolutely terrible “beach”. It a bay, not a beach. But probably the best option if you don’t want to go down the great ocean road. Water is relatively clean, and there are some (gross) public toilets. It’s easy to get to on public transport, just take the route 1 from the city.

Great beach...great sand... Nice view for cruise ship...

Some aggressive dogs are not on leash. Some psycho owners can't control their dogs at all. Avoid this place.

It is amazing But sometimes when it’s 20° The sand blows in your eye

Nice place to relax
