This is just a little blog, because nothing eventful ever really happened in Saint Kilda. It’s worth the shout-out though, because this area of Melbourne is just so darn cute.
South of the city, located on one of the prettiest points of the Bay, this little suburb has white sands, cute shops, and the notorious Luna Park. It’s kind of like ‘the beaches’ in Toronto – or, better yet, Kensington if it were by the lake.
Apparently this area was, at one point, overrun by prostitutes and crack heads. I don’t think it’s like that now – but that could be part of the reason that Saint Kilda is so fun! I mean, no one knows how to throw a party like the underbelly of society.
So, if you get a chance to check it out – I highly recommend you do so. The area’s seedy past has been washed away, but the good stuff that made this little place known still remains.
Destination nutshell:
Flight: $3 tram ride from Flinders Street Station in Melbourne
Accom: There’s tons of great hostels in Saint Kilda – ranging from $20 - $55/ night!
Highlights: The iconic Luna Park (seen above), unique boutiques, an ocean side board walk, and great great restaurants.
