Why it's worth checking out
New Beach sits at Port Melbourne, on the bayside edge of the city. With 62 reviews behind its 4.5 rating, it's a much-loved spot.
The appeal is a relaxed bayside beach close to the city — a lovely stretch of sand on Port Phillip Bay, handy for a swim, a paddle, a walk along the Bay Trail or simply relaxing by the water, with lovely city and bay outlooks. It's a genuine local favourite.
Beaches have changing conditions, tides and seasonal facilities, so check current details if you're planning around something specific. Otherwise it's a free, family-friendly spot to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection, water and your swimmers.
