Brighton Beach is located in the upmarket suburb of Port Phillip Bay, a 30-minute drive from Melbourne's CBD. Upper Brighton Beach leads into Middle Brighton Beach, which is known primarily for its historical sea baths and iconic pier. The famous spot on Brighton's coastline is Dendy Street Beach, known for its strip of colorful huts or bathing boxes that line the beachfront. Dating back to the Victorian era, the boxes were from a time when beachgoers had private changing and storage facilities. Built with wooden-framed structures, the huts all retain classic Victorian architectural features like weatherboard sides and corrugated iron roofs. Each of the 82 huts on the beach have their own unique paintings, giving Brighton Beach its very own character. A picturesque beach with pristine white sand, clear blue waters and a wide range of restaurants and retail shops; it is a favorite spot for locals and tourists alike.
