Melbourne’s Iconic Colorful Bathing Boxes
#melbournetrip #visitmelbourne #melbourne #australia
It’s winter time here Down Under but that means the beach is not as crowded as usual. It was a sunny 15 degree Celcius and I got myself out to Brighton Beach to check out those iconic colorful bathing boxes! It was relatively easy to get there with public bus, 5-10 minutes walk from the stop, and you’ll get there!
As it is the only things to see at Brighton Beach, 15-30 minutes are probably enough if you don’t need to take photo on each of those boxes. You can head to some cafes around, just make sure to be there before 3PM because the cafes close early.
How to Get There : drive, take taxi, or take public Bus 600, 922 or 923 (pay attention to the schedule though, it only comes every 20-30mins)

Bright & Sunny Brighton Beach, Melbourne
#wecreate memories on this beach! 🤩 Just 20min away by car from the city, it was a good place to getaway to chill and enjoy the seaside.
The colourful beachhouses are the highlight and are absolutely eye-catching! With a variety of themes, one can pose with them depending on one’s creativity!
There is a parking lot nearer the Brighton Beach Gardens as the parking lot for the beach itself is under maintenance. Do remember to pay for parking at the machine ✅
There are benches to sit around to take in the scenery. Bring sunnies on a bright day to better enjoy the sight!
Once you’ve had your fill of the seabreeze, head over to Swordfish Chippery for some yummy fish and chips! They even offer banana and pineapple fritters…I was curious but not enough to spend on fried pineapple 😂 If you do try it, could you let me know?

Colourful beach boxes @ Brighton! 💖
Melbourne is famous for its Brighton bathing boxes, and wouldn’t you know there is a pretty pink one! This stretch of beach down Esplanade is quiet with few tourists, allowing you to get all the pictures you want. There are also many interesting and unique designs, which I’m sure you’ll find one to love. Did you know that the bathing boxes are privately owned? So the designs are actually chosen by their owners! With government approval of course.
Address: Esplanade, Brighton VIC 3186

if you are visiting Melbourne , one of the places you should definitely go to would be Brighton beach to visit the Brighton bathing boxes. I heard from my tour guide that this is worth a lot of money now and people who own this boxes are really a good investment. do note that they are unable to stay overnight here. the paintings on the bathing boxes are so colorful and nice it’s a perfect place to take a nice picture. also can enjoy the sea breeze but do note this is a tourist attraction so it can get crowded and you might not be able to take a picture without anyone in the background. nevertheless would recommend to still visit.

Brighton Beach and the Bath Boxes
When one head to Melbourne, most tourists will head towards St kilda beach to walk along the long stretch of golden white beaches and to view the Brighton Bath boxes. Or you couldb just head straight to Brighton beach instead if you just would want to have a glance on these colourful, painted boxes. There are more than 50 over of these beach boxes where there are many great opportunities for photo as these are painted by the local people themselves.
These boxes are used to store the local items, for example their surf boards, fishing equipment and stuff like that. So there are times, you will be able to see these Bath boxes opened up where owners will just sit at their boxes, while enjoying the sun and sea breeze.

Brighton Beach is such a nice place to chill at. look at the colorful bathing boxes and you will definitely fall in love here as it’s just so cute!! also the beach is so inviting especially if it is a hot summer. you would want to jump in for a swim. and have some fun chilling or having a picnic with your loved ones or friends and families.
if a picnic is too troublesome you can just head to the nearest restaurants as there are plenty near by. and of course fish and chips is a must try. it’s really nice no matter which store you get it from
overall recommend making a trip to Brighton if you can. it will brighten up your day.

Lovely beach with the colourful bathing boxes
We drove here from our day trip back to Melbourne and were lucky enough to catch the sunset here. As we went during winter, there was not much activities going on at the beach. There were some food carts near where we parked our car. If you plan to drive here, better to have a meal plan as the area does not have many restaurants/shops.
If you don’t drive, probably it’s not worth travelling here as it’s a bit out of the way compared to other attractions in Melbourne.
Useful tip: walk along the beach for some interesting bathing boxes. It seems that the owners did change the paint job after some time. Take photos near sunset when you can catch the last glimpse of sunlight in the vast ocean. The feeling is so wonderful.

A good train ride south from Melbourne downtown and there we reached Brighton Beach, famous for its colorful beach boxes.
Even if we visited in early February, summertime, the weather was not the most ideal for a bath, but we did enjoy the picturesque scene of the bathhouses decorated in bright colors.
Nearby, and en route towards the train station there is a street filled with cafes and restaurants for a yummy break before heading back to downtown

Lined with colourful bathing boxes, Brighton Beach makes for a great photo opportunity as the rising sun casts long shadows across the soft, white sand.

Brighton Beach is a beach in the suburbs of Melbourne, the most special of which is a row of colourful cabins by the sea.
So here is not only a holiday destination with blue sky and blue sky, but also a colorful and fun place.

The brighton beach in melbourne is amongst the most recognizable ones thanks to the colorful bathing boxes. These are huts owned by locals tk store their stuff and beach related equipment. Colorful ones with different art work on some. I have been told that one of these huts recently sold for over 300k USD. This made me want to come see these silly boxes in person and a beach day.
In terms of a beach it is a fine one, I went swimming and was able to borrow things. There are not very many shops and restaurants closer to the beach but good options on the jetty road. I did notice quite a lot of people even drunk but that may not be the case always. It was a weekday noon, yet there were people around. It's not bad for a trip at all.

Exploring Brighton Beach in Melbourne
From downtown Melbourne, it takes about 30 minutes by train, and then a bit more walking to reach Brighton beach easily. The highlight here is the brightly colored Bathing boxes lined up on the beach, which are old Victorian-era bathing houses used as changing rooms. Each box has its owner, but tourists can still take photos with them.
This beach has three parts stretching along Port Phillip Bay: Upper Brighton Beach, Middle Brighton Beach, and Dendy Street Beach.
Moreover, if we have time to walk around the Brighton area, every house is beautiful, like something out of a magazine.

Colorful houses in Melbourne

Brighton Beach
#melbournetrip
Also known as "Little Odessa" due its tight-knit Russian and Eastern European communities, Brooklyn's Brighton Beach is a lively neighborhood with many high-rise residential buildings. Traditional ethnic restaurants and food markets line Brighton Beach Avenue. The beach and boardwalk here are more laid-back than nearby Coney Island, catering largely to locals. Splashy nightclubs attract partiers in the evenings.

Brighton Beach: Melbourne’s Best Beach 🏝️
The beaches of Melbourne are by no means the prettiest beaches. But Brighton Beach is an exception!
Getting there: take the train 🚆 from Flinders Street Station to Brighton Beach and it’s about a 10 minute walk from there.
Food and Drink: The beach is in a pretty residential area and I didn’t see any restaurants or shops while I was there. It’s the perfect opportunity to bring a picnic! 🧺
Things to do:
1️⃣ Go swimming 🏊♀️ The water was pretty chilly for me but if the weather is warmer you should take a dip!
2️⃣ Go walking 🚶♀️ The beach is a great place to stretch your legs and there are some nice views of Melbourne along the way!
3️⃣ Brighton Beach Huts 📸 The main reason for coming here is the iconic beach huts! I spent about an hour stopping by each hut to take pictures and it was a lot of fun. Surprisingly, it wasn’t that crowded!
So make sure you add Brighton Beach to your Melbourne Itinerary! ✨
