The historical charm of Port Melbourne is now complimented by a more modern lifestyle in Beacon Cove and other new apartment complexes that continue to redefine the urban landscape. This influx of inner-city residents has created a demand for a wide array of entertainment, dining and shopping attractions to compliment the traditional Australian pubs that defined Port Melbourne’s colonial past.
Everything is within easy strolling distance and there’s an excellent light rail tram service to and from Port Melbourne into the city.
Bay Street is the perfect place to meet friends for brunch, shop for everything from groceries and fresh foods to designer fashions and stylish home wares, relax over dinner and a glass of wine at many of the bayside eateries or enjoy a beer from practically anywhere in the world at one of Bay Street’s renowned pubs. Watch the sunset from Station Pier and hear the Spirit of Tasmania depart on it’s nightly voyage.
