Perfectly positioned along Melbourne’s famous sandbelt, no matter what type of leisure activity tickles your fancy, there’s always something to do in Brighton.
Shopping:
If you love a spot of shopping, then you’ll love Church Street. Home to a wide range of shops, simply walk around the corner to get your retail fix. Or, venture a little further afield to
Chadstone the Fashion Capital,
Westfield Southland or, to secure some bargains,
DFO Moorabbin.
Cycling:
Take a spin on a two-wheeler and breathe in the seaside scenery of the
Bay Trail. Ride the full length (69km) or choose a smaller section and stop off for a bite of lunch along the way.
Yachting:
What’s the sea for if not to set sail? With the
Royal Brighton Yacht Club and
Sandringham Yacht Club on your doorstep, it’s easy to indulge your passion for the high seas.
Swimming:
If you feel like a dip, why not take a 10 minute (1km) stroll down to
The Middle Brighton Baths? Over one hundred years old, the sea baths offer exercise and an important piece of Melbourne’s history.
Golf:
Have a swinging time at one of the eight picturesque golf clubs known as the
Melbourne Sandbelt. You’ll be in good company – the Sandbelt has played host to some of Australia’s most important championships, including The Australian Open.
Architecture:
For those that love buildings and history, the
Bayside Architecture Trail will quench both passions. Over 100 buildings complete the trail – from pioneer homes through to modern day marvels.
Other Brighton Activities
Foodies and those that like a good drop will be in heaven with the
Bright N Sandy Food & Wine Festival held each March. While movie buffs will love the
Bayside Film Festival that features award-winning Australian and International short films. For more information about Melbourne’s wide range of events, click to
