Review:

St Kilda Beach , Melbourne’s most famous and popular beach, is located in St Kilda, Port Phillip, just south of downtown Melbourne. It is a long, sandy beach that stretches from St Kilda Harbour to St Kilda Marina. Although it can be windy in this area, the beach is protected from strong ocean currents because of its location at the northeast corner of Port Phillip.

Water activities include kite surfing, swimming, and windsurfing. Other things to do include jogging, rollerblading, and walking. Two well-known landmarks on the beach are the St Kilda Pier with its Edwardian era buildings and the St Kilda Sea Baths. There is a small colony of penguins living in the rocks of the breakwater.
