We visited this beach yesterday evening on a perfect summer weekday in Melbourne. The weather was very pleasant but windy, and the beach was not crowded at all.
This is a beautiful spot where you can swim, surf, or stroll along the promenade. We brought our dinner and enjoyed it in the car while watching the sunset.
It's not too far from the city and is accessible by public transport as well. Highly recommended.
I had an amazing time soaking up the sun, enjoying the refreshing cold water, and feeling the fine sand beneath my feet. There were plenty of people making the most of the final days of summer, but it wasn't overly crowded, which made it even more enjoyable. I highly recommend bringing a tent or beach umbrella, sunscreen, plenty of cold water, and some snacks.
