Brighton Beach Boxes

Nearly all of us have seen photos of the famous Brighton Bathing Boxes - those colourfully painted sheds lined up along the beach. Plenty of Australian TV shows based in Melbourne have shot at least a few scenes there. If you ever find yourself in Melbourne, visiting Brighton Beach is a must.

Brighton Beach is not only famous for these colourful bathing boxes, but the beach here is one of the best in Melbourne. With a view of the Melbourne CBD in the background, it poses great photo opportunities plus an unforgettable experience for tourists and locals alike. Walk down the foreshore path to Middle Brighton Pier – the perfect opportunity to check out all the artwork on the Bathing Boxes.
