Melbourne is one of Australia’s most beautiful cities, but some of its most picturesque attractions are a bit hidden out of sight. If you ever find yourself in this vibrant city, make sure to check out these three spots and take amazing photos that you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

Brighton Bathing Boxes          

One of Melbourne’s most colorful attractions, Brighton Bathing Boxes consist of 82 distinctive Victorian-era wooden beach huts. They have been around since the 1900s, and what makes them so fun is the fact that each box was decorated differently, to reflect the owner’s personal taste.

Princes Pier

Located in Port Melbourne, this historic pier is one of the city’s most photogenic spots with beautiful sunset views. The original wooden pillars that once formed the pier are still in place, but the decking has been renewed in the 90s due to poor timber conditions.

St. Kilda Beach

Melbourne is home to many beautiful beaches thanks to its convenient location on the shores of Port Phillip Bay. None of them is better than St. Kilda Beach, known for the picturesque St. Kilda Pier and many exciting water sports you can enjoy during your visit.

Australia’s historical piers are part of the travel itinerary of every tourist who enjoys relaxing walks by the beach with beautiful views. Most of them look pretty much the same and offer a similar experience, but there’s something that makes Princes Pier quite unique.

This is one of the main attractions of Port Melbourne, located on the shores of the horsehead-shaped Port Phillip Bay. You can reach it in approximately 30 minutes by bus from downtown Melbourne, and it’s open to visitors between 6am–10pm.

What makes Princes Pier so unique are the remains of the original wooden pillars that transformed this pier into one of Melbourne’s most photographed spots. They once formed a historical pier that was constructed between 1912 and 1915, before closing its doors due to poor timber condition and the fires that followed after the ‘90s.

Princes Pier opened its doors in 2011, after a full restoration, but the wooden pillars remained. The preservation of these piles transformed the pier into an important heritage centerpiece, which stands as a constant reminder of an important period in Melbourne’s history.
