Elwood Beach Tours and Activities

One of our favourite things to do in Melbourne is cycle along the coastal track which runs from Port Melbourne all the way to Brighton Beach. Makes for a great family activity.
Elwood Beach in Melbourne is a popular bayside beach during sunny days and a great family beach. It’s not as accessible from the city as St Kilda as it’s not exactly on the tram or train line, but still only 8km’s away if you have a car, or jump in a cab. The water was clean and calm for swimming and our kids had a great time playing on the sand and the rocks. It’s another fairly active beach and you’ll see people windsurfing, cycling, playing cricket and walking.

7.8/10 Good! (1,001 reviews)
Inexpensive hotel close to Southern Cross station so good location. Large room, comfortable bed and bathroom ok. Air con ok but a fan as well to cool the room and provide air flow which is good. Lift needs an overhaul as hard to get the 7th floor button to work. Also no picture on channel 7& only channel change and volume buttons, no subtitles option on the TV control. Good for the price you pay.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (1,005 reviews)
This is a family apartment hotel, not business so much. The suites are roomy and well equipped, but my windows were facing a wall (for the same price…). The breakfast selection is OK, not too many options, and it’s the same every day. The Mezzanine area is very nice. The restaurant on the ground floor is a separate business and they’re not open on weekends. The bathrooms need a renovation/upgrade.
