Bayside Nature Walk Brighton Beach to Baths and Pier & Coffee @ Beach House Cafe
Join me for a relaxed walk along the beautiful Bay Trail from Brighton Beach to Middle Brighton Baths and Pier. We can enjoy walking and chatting together as we follow the water's edge, with time to make new friends and share the beauty of our surroundings.
When we reach the Dendy Street Beach we will take time to explore the 93 brightly decorated bathing boxes that make up a fun collective work of art. This is an ideal opportunity for photography. There are gorgeous views out across Port Phillip Bay and the distant city skyline.
From there we'll walk on to the historic Middle Brighton Baths, a reminder of Melbourneās Victorian-era sea-bathing culture and then out along the Middle Brighton Pier, a popular destination for fishing and enjoying views of the bay.
**Agenda**
We will meet at the War Memorial in the Brighton Beach Gardens Green Point at 2pm. There is a photo and a map in the gallery.
We'll set off at 2.15pm and walk through the gardens to the end of Green Point. From there we'll walk down to the shoreline and stroll up to the Dendy Street Beach where we can explore the iconic coloured bathing boxes. Then we'll join the Bay Trail path and walk up to the historic Brighton Baths and out along the Middle Brighton Pier.
On the way back we'll stop in at the Beach House Cafe on Brighton Beach to pick up a coffee and a snack or you may like to bring your own drinks and something to eat. There will be time to enjoy conversations together and have a paddle in the water.
This is an easy to moderate walk along the path and on the sand in some sections. The walking distance is about 6km all up and we'll take around 2 hours.
We'll arrive back at Brighton Beach Gardens by 5pm.
**Location**
Brighton Beach War Memorial in Brighton Beach Gardens, Beach Road, Brighton near the corner of Beach Road and South Road. It is approximately 11km SouthEast of Melbourne's city centre.
The Brighton Beach Train Station is on the Sandringham line and the travel time from the city is 25 minutes. There is paid parking at the gardens and free parking at the Brighton Beach Train Station on South Road directly across the road from the meeting spot.
When you RSVP, please click Attend on the event page and I will be in touch via Direct Message. I will also be available in the Event Comments on the day.
