• 6.St Kilda & the bay — Melbourne's seaside escape — the bayside suburb of St Kilda, with its sandy beach and pier, palm-fringed promenade, the historic Luna Park funfair with its famous laughing-mouth entrance, and the cake shops and cafés of Acland Street. A fun, breezy half-day of beach, ice cream, sunset over the bay and a spin on the old rides; relaxed and full of character, it's the classic Melbourne day by the water. Lovely at sunset, and a tram ride from the centre. A local favourite.
• 14.St Kilda penguins & pier — A magical local secret — at dusk each evening, a colony of little penguins waddles ashore among the rocks of the St Kilda breakwater, just minutes from the city. Walk out along the pier at sunset to watch them (quietly, without flash) return to their burrows, a delightful and free wildlife encounter right on the bay. Combine it with a sunset stroll and dinner in St Kilda; a charming, only-in-Melbourne experience that surprises everyone. Wonderful for all ages, and completely free.
