Beach Walk & Good Conversation | Brighton to St Kilda

**A gentle seaside walk from Brighton to St Kilda, for people who enjoy meaningful conversation without pressure or performance.** It's 8km along the foreshore - around two and a quarter hours at an easy pace, with stops. Flat the whole way, and beautiful. We'll be walking close to the water and the Bay Trail rather than along the main road footpath. You can check out our planned route here. [https://www.alltrails.com/explore/custom-routes/custom-route-brighton-beach-station-to-st-kilda-beach-a1de7dc](https://www.alltrails.com/explore/custom-routes/custom-route-brighton-beach-station-to-st-kilda-beach-a1de7dc) We walk in small clusters that naturally re-form as we go, so you'll end up talking with several different people rather than the same one the whole way. **Where to meet** 📍 Brighton Beach Station carpark, behind the station near the bicycle parking (see the map in the photos) 🕒 4:00pm for a 4:15pm start 🚶 First stop is the Beach Boxes **Rough timings** * 4:00pm – meet at Brighton Beach Station carpark * 4:15pm – start walking * \~4:35pm – toilet stop at Brighton Baths * \~5:40pm – passing Elwood Beach * \~6:30pm – arrive St Kilda, optional dinner **On the walk** There's light structure so nobody feels awkward arriving on their own, but plenty of freedom to just enjoy the views and the company. Good Conversation questions will be available - completely optional. We'll regroup at a few points along the way, including the toilet stop at Brighton Baths. You're welcome to peel off at any station along the route if you've had enough - no need to explain, just let one of us know. **This is for you if you enjoy** * Thoughtful, curious conversation * Being outdoors and moving your body gently * Social connection that feels relaxed and human * Meeting likeminded people without loud venues or small talk overload **What to bring** Comfortable shoes, layers, water and sun protection. It's the bay, so it's usually cooler and windier than the city. **Weather:** we walk in light rain. If it's genuinely miserable we may post here by midday - check the event page before you leave home. **Afterwards** Optional dinner in St Kilda from around 630pm for anyone who'd like to keep talking. Suggestion: Mya Tiger - the food is lovely, and there's a hidden bar upstairs worth a look. **Running late?** We start walking at 4:15pm and follow the foreshore path the whole way, so we're easy to find. Either walk quickly along the path to catch us up, or take a train or tram to a point further along and wait by the beach path for us to pass. Elwood Beach around 5:40pm is the easiest place to join us. The route map and timings are in the photos. Please note the host won't be checking their phone once we set off - they're on the walk too, and they'd rather be present with the group than on a screen. Everything you need is in this description. **Who it's for** Young-at-heart adults, most of our members somewhere between 25 and 50, though the vibe matters more than the number. Strictly 18+. Come as you are. Conversation's an invitation here, never an obligation. **Cost: free.** \-\-\-\-\-\- HOST RESOURCES: [https://mastercoaches.net/good-conversation-club-questions.pdf](https://mastercoaches.net/good-conversation-club-questions.pdf) Print double sided. Cut up cards. Hand out at the start of the event. Guide people to introduce themselves to other guests - for example, talk to someone wearing the same colour as you, or someone about your height. Call Mya Tiger ([(03) 9534 0211](https://www.google.com/search?q=mya+tiget&oq=mya+tiget&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTILCAEQABgKGAsYgAQyCwgCEAAYChgLGIAEMgsIAxAAGAoYCxiABDIRCAQQLhgKGAsYrwEYxwEYgAQyCwgFEAAYChgLGIAEMgsIBhAAGAoYCxiABDILCAcQABgKGAsYgAQyCwgIEAAYChgLGIAEMgsICRAAGAoYCxiABNIBCDE1MDNqMGo0qAIAsAIB&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#)) to make 630pm table reservation for \~10 people. Update on the walk at 5:30pm when people share what their plans are for after the walk.

Bay Trail Walk - Middle Park Beach to Elwood Beach + Coffee

Join me for a beach walk down the beautiful Bay Trail. We will walk from Middle Park Beach, over Ormond Point Lookout and on to Elwood Beach for a coffee or snack from Elwood Beach Shack. This is a stunning beach walk with views across the city and bay. Our walk will be approximately 8km, and is around 1 hour each way. This walk is rated easy to moderate, it is relatively flat with well maintained trails suitable for most people with a reasonable level of fitness, and we will walk at a moderate pace. **Agenda:** We will meet at 10am at Middle Park Beach, near the picnic tables on the Bay Trail. There is a map, and a photo in the gallery. We will head off at 10:15am, and reach Elwood Beach by 11:15am. We will stop for a coffee, snack or a paddle and then return to Middle Park Beach by 1pm. If you are travelling via public transport, you can take Tram 12 from Collins St in the CBD and get off at Armstrong St, stop 138, in Middle Park. Walk down Armstrong St towards the water, and the meeting spot is directly across Beaconsfield Parade. The journey is around 20 mins from the CBD.

And to stop on briefly, so your host - as always does on walks - point out a few things, & mention a few heritage & historical facts.

We will walk along beach-side path for awhile OR/& out along the pier, then can walk more directly back to meet point or via part of Albert Park Lake reserve.

It's flexible what we do; how much we walk, or how long sit & chat We can easily get a tram at anytime if want to make walk shorter, Or if can't join us for full duration, we'll be near 1 of 3 tram lines at most times.

Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 8 km walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 8 kilometres. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours fly by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energised. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energising, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chit-chat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and runners. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we'll be out here nearly every week! If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in prams, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 4 km/h). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).
