Brighton Beach











Our first visit to the beach this year! According to the weather forecast, it was said to be reaching 31 degrees today but apparently the clouds were out and we didn't have to walk along the beach in the scorching heat (which was a relief for both of us!)


I've never seen so many seagulls at the beach before! They were all in search for food.


You can see the skyscraper in the far distance and sweep of colourful beach huts that cost a lot of $$$. It is said that Brighton Beach huts are a combination of being privately owned and those owned by the government. Even when you own the hut, it is not allowed to change the design or repaint the box as it is the iconic symbol of the popular beach. Brighton beach is located in between St Kilda and Sandrigham Station, 20 minutes train ride from the city.


It's more quite than the St. Kild beach as there is virtually no development at the beach front aimed at the tourists. If you're looking for a serene, quiet place to enjoy a walk or reading, this place is highly recommended! Make sure you bring your sunnies and a bottle of water when visiting :-)
