Why it's worth checking out

Mentone Beach sits on Port Phillip Bay at Mentone, in Melbourne's bayside south-east. A relaxed, family-friendly beach with calm bay waters and soft sand, it's a much-loved local spot — known for its picturesque row of colourful heritage bathing boxes that line the foreshore, adding real charm to the setting.

The appeal is that combination of calm, gentle swimming water, a pretty foreshore and the iconic bathing boxes, ideal for a swim, a stroll along the beach or a relaxed day by the bay. The sheltered waters make it great for families, and the charming bathing boxes make it a lovely, photogenic stretch of Melbourne's bayside coast.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 900 reviews, it's a much-loved beach. It's free and open year-round, but swimming conditions, parking and facilities vary, and it gets busier on warm weekends and over summer, so it's worth checking conditions before you go — and taking sun protection and swimming safely — while enjoying the calm bay waters and the charming bathing boxes that make Mentone Beach such a lovely bayside spot.
