Brighton’s famous beach bathing boxes in Melbourne
Beautiful to look at precious to hold
BUT pricey mystery to many for essentially a shed, with no running water or electricity.
For more than 100 years these colourful bathing boxes have provided a beautiful backdrop to Melbourne’s mighty Port Phillip Bay.
Originally used as ladies’ changing sheds in the 1800s, the council took over management from the Crown in 1877.
The boxes have since survived the elements and a cyclone
— although a few have reportedly washed away.
Nowadays the boxes have provided a
picturesque backdrop for shots streamed across the world.
Brighton Beach is home to the famous beach huts.
The beach isn't too far from Melbourne city, and is a great place to relax

| A day at Brighton Beach is always a lot of fun. The sand and water are clean, and its a very laid back atmosphere |

We enjoyed walking the beach
and viewing these colorful bathing boxes.
Each one had its own distinction.
It was interesting to know that they are still being used.
The whole area is lovely.
Worth coming here to visit & will surely be back again.
