Brighton beach, Victoria, Australia

Why it's worth checking out

Brighton Beach is one of Melbourne's most iconic stretches of sand, on the shores of Port Phillip Bay in the bayside suburb of Brighton. With nearly 2,500 reviews behind its 4.5 rating, its famous colourful bathing boxes make it a genuine landmark.

The appeal is the complete bayside experience — golden sand, calm waters, lovely city views across the bay and the world-famous row of brightly painted bathing boxes that draw photographers from everywhere. It's a wonderful spot for a swim, a walk or simply soaking up one of Melbourne's most photographed scenes.

Beach conditions and safety can change with the weather and tides, so always check conditions, swim where patrolled and heed any safety signage. Bring sun protection and water, and enjoy this iconic beach at a relaxed pace.

Spot Score

The Spot Score is our composite of five signals — two about the venue's standing with visitors and three about how complete and current this listing is. It is not a visitor rating and not a verdict on the food or the experience. The 4.5 from 2,477 reviews is Google's visitor rating, shown separately and never altered by us.
