1. St Kilda Beach


Possibly Melbourne’s most loved city beach, the sands at St Kilda draw locals and tourists in equal measure. Once the sun sets St Kilda loses none of its magic either – if anything it gets more magical as the suburb’s restaurants and bars light up. The biggest plus to visiting St Kilda beach at dusk? If you’re lucky you might catch a glimpse of a little penguin or two by the pier.
