Whats On - St Kilda

Home Travellers Motel St Kilda Beach information.

Acland Street:

One of Melbourne's Best Food Precincts. It is also a long-time favourite of Melbournians and tourists alike because of its famous cakes shops. It is now the number one stop for backpackers because of the busy cafes and close proximity to St Kilda's beaches.

Upper Esplanade:

has fantastic views of the Bay with the newly restored and refurbished St Kilda Baths and Royal Yacht Squadron in the foreground. The landmark Esplanade Hotel is a venue for music gigs. On Sundays, a craft market is held on the Upper Esplanade.

Lower Esplanade:

directly opposite the beach and beachside restaurants, it is known for a number of landmarks including Luna Park fun fair, Palais Theatre (a popular concert venue) and the St Kilda Baths (salt water swimming pool, gym and spa retreat)

Luna Park:

historic fun fair that is the best known St Kilda landmark. The laughing face facade and roller coaster have both been classified by the National Trust.

St Kilda Botanic Gardens:

situated in Blessington Street (off Acland Street), the St Kilda Botanic gardens are a delightful sanctuary that is one of St Kilda's best kept secrets.

St Kilda Pier:

Providing panoramic views of the Melbourne skyline and Port Phillip Bay, the pier is a popular destination for strolling, cycling, roller blading and fishing. Catch a ferry to Williamstown, enjoy a snack at the kiosk or try to spot the penguins from the breakwater. Whatever your preference, St Kilda Pier provides an unforgettable experience right in the heart of Melbourne.
