Williamstown Beach

Less people compared to St Kilda or Brighton. There's a huge park right across the beach too with some food places nearby. Overall a great spot for family outings

I love this place so beautiful to see sunset 🪽

Good beach, sand is very nice along with the water, great biking paths too

Love this beach for swimming, relaxing or watching sunsets

Such a beautiful beach. Perfect spot to watch the sunrise. The shallow water tides and the soft sand are so comforting.
This is a must visit spot for families. A fun-loving place for pets as well!

Williamstown is a nice place for a visit. You can walk along Nelson st and go to the back where you have a great view of the water and shops coming in. At Williamstown the main street has a number of restaurants, shops and cafes. The pier to take the ferry to the city has the HMAS Castlemaine where it is $8 for adults to go on the ship and look around. There is a park near the pier. Recommend for a day trip

A City Beach accessible by train from Southern Cross Station, and 5-10 minutes walk from Williamstown Beach train stop. The sand is a bit gritty and coarse, but generally a swimmable beach as the water is generally calm, but watch out for rocks and seaweed. Popular with the locals, families, paddle boarders, snorkelers. Check the water quality with the EPA.vic.gov.au website.

I like to take the train all the way to the last stop at Williamstown, and then do an easy, beautiful, calming, coastal walk from Point Gellibrand Park, perhaps even stopping for some green respite at the Botanic Gardens, and ending the walk at the Crystal Steps.

Food choices is very limited - the ever busy kiosk or a new coffee place next to the Park. Or stop at Footscray on the same train line for a meal. There is clean public toilets at the Botanic Garden.
