Getting here
The Nepean Highway is the major arterial road linking Bayside to the centre of Melbourne, although Beach Road from St Kilda is a more scenic route. A short train trip on either the Sandringham or the Frankston lines provides easy access.
Villages with character
Bayside is blessed with picturesque villages boasting a diversity of quality shops, great restaurants and art galleries. They include one of Victoria's most renowned shopping strips, Church Street in Brighton, which features fine food and elegant entertainment. Still in Brighton, the alternative and eclectic Martin Street caters well for the younger market while fashion boutiques feature heavily in Bay Street.
Bustling and trendy Hampton Street, Hampton, has an array of restaurants, antique shops and art galleries. The relaxed seaside appeal of Black Rock and Sandringham provide pleasant outlooks to the bay. Exceptional dining can be found in all of the villages and many other locations, including nearby the internationally acclaimed Marine Sanctuary in Beaumaris.
Impressions of Melbourne by the Bay
The suburbs of Brighton, Hampton, Sandringham, Black Rock and Mentone form a group of separate villages drawn together by a common bond. The attraction of living here is the proximity to the bay and to the Melbourne CBD as well as the village-like atmosphere. Unlike Sydney, most of Melbourne is flat, so very few homes in these suburbs on Port Phillip Bay have a view of the bay – those that do stay in families for generations! The homes are individual and mostly with character, the gardens established and abundant. A lot of the architecture is from yesteryear but very well preserved and in many cases renovated. Each of these suburbs has its own village centre with low rise shopping strips and alfresco dining at numerous cafes. Trains run through the middle of village shopping strips momentarily disrupting the traffic flow at level crossings. There is something quaint about level crossings in suburban centres so close to the city, stopping our progress momentarily to forcibly remind us that maybe our lives have become a tad too busy.
‘Yachties’ and motor boat enthusiasts are well catered for with marinas and clubs on the bay. Walkers and cyclists have an excellent pathway around the shoreline following the Esplanade and Beach Road. One of†the attractions on the shoreline is the row of Brighton bathing boxes. These coveted and colourful, privately owned huts have been bought and sold for over 100 years and have been the subject of famous artists in the area.
One advantage of the flat landscape is the ability for the elderly to get around, (and there are plenty of them in these suburbs!) An affluent area with many private schools, those who live here enjoy the open air and the quiet surrounds interrupted only by the birds calling and the odd train screeching through the level crossings.
Shopping
Hampton Street, Hampton, with Safeway, trendy shops, galleries, antique shops and eateries. Sandringham has quite a large shopping area. Middle Brighton has both Coles and Safeway in popular Church Street with designer label boutiques and a two screen cinema. Bay Street in North Brighton features a mix of retail, fashion, cafes and an art-house cinema. Black Rock has a cluster of shops.
Dining
Many fine restaurants in Church Street Brighton and nearby St Kilda (such as Circa). But the food is good everywhere from seafood to sushi and many other types. Curiously, there is no opportunity to dine overlooking the bay.
Things to Do
Bayside consists of beaches, boating facilities, sailing clubs, interesting culture and history. The area is ideal for walking, cycling and beach picnics. There are forty parks and reserves in the area and quite a number of tennis clubs including an over 55s tennis club. There are numerous events and festivals held every year such as the ‘Bright 'n' Sandy Food and Wine Festival’ and ‘Carols in the Park’.
Famous artists such as Streeton, Condor and Roberts painted on this coast so it is not surprising that the bayside is committed to the arts. The Bayside Arts and Cultural Centre, set in large gardens, is an example. The Bayside Coastal Arts Trail is a 17km long walk celebrating the notable artists who painted the Bayside coast. There is also a Bayside Architectural Trail to promote walking and cycling around the interesting architecture of the area. Motor yachting, sailing and other water activities are available from Sandringham, Brighton, Black Rock and Beaumaris Yacht Clubs. There are half a dozen excellent golf courses including Royal Melbourne. There are six libraries throughout the area and various groups covering dance, music and arts and crafts. Churches represented here are Anglican, Baptist, Uniting, Community, Church of Christ, Hebrew, Christian Science, Catholic, Jewish, Presbyterian, Lutheran and Baha’i Faith. Local organisations include, Country Women’s, Probus, Freemasons, Lions, Rotary, Senior Citizens, View Clubs, Bridge Clubs, horticultural and more.
