St Kilda also boasts a buzzing nightlife scene, with live music venues and rooftop bars offering stunning views of the coastline.

A key attraction near the beach is the historic Luna Park, a century-old amusement park with its famous giant mouth entrance and fun rides. Visitors can also enjoy the St Kilda Pier, offering stunning views of Port Phillip Bay and the Melbourne skyline. At dusk, the pier’s breakwater becomes a hotspot for spotting little penguins that return from their day at sea.
