Practical details
Why it's worth checking out
Williamstown Beach is a lovely stretch of sand at historic Williamstown, on Port Phillip Bay in Melbourne's west. With 986 reviews behind its 4.6 rating, it's a much-loved bayside spot.
The appeal is a relaxed, family-friendly bay beach — calm waters, golden sand and lovely views back across the bay to the Melbourne skyline, ideal for a swim, a stroll or a relaxed day by the water. Williamstown's charming maritime village, with its cafes and foreshore, makes it easy to fold a visit into a wider day out.
