St Kilda

Visit the flea market on Sundays at the Upper Esplanade. Good variety and prices for innovative and creative souvenirs, bags etc.

Every Sunday evening around sunset, there is a big party at the Espy. Situated on the picturesque Upper Esplanade, this pub has one of the best views in Melbourne. Its a bar with live music, pool tables and a lounge. Not to be missed, but bring extra cash for drinks. $5.30 for 3/4's of a pot of beer, jugs are $23.

Luna Park is a St Kilda icon with its fabled Scenic Railway rollercoaster, the oldest continually operating wooden-framed roller coaster in the world. One of only nine of its kind still operating, the Scenic Railway was installed in the Park on its opening in 1912. Great day out for families.

People-watch. St Kilda has a strange and eclectic mix of people ranging from sex workers and drug-dealers who have historically occupied the area and the more recent influx of affluent denizens attracted to the beachscape. Being the closest beach to the city, St Kilda attracts all kinds of Melburnians and you can really notice the mix of cultures that Melbourne has to offer.
