St Kilda

St Kilda is Melbourne's seaside playground, known for its expansive views of Port Phillip, safe sandy beach, palm-lined boardwalk, and huge range of beach activities. The suburb is home to many of Melbourne's famous visitor attractions, including Luna Park, the Esplanade Hotel, and the Palais Theatre. St Kilda has a rich history, having been a favoured suburb of Melbourne's elite in the Victorian era, and later becoming a hub for bohemian culture and Melbourne's 'red light' district. Today, it is a popular destination for families and visitors, with many restaurants, bars, and cafes, as well as a weekly market and a historic sea bath. The area is also home to a little penguin colony at the St Kilda Breakwater, and offers opportunities for sailing, windsurfing, and kitesurfing
