The Locale

Just 6 km from Melbourne’s CBD, St Kilda Beach is the city’s most famous stretch of coastline. Set along Port Phillip Bay, it’s a vibrant destination where sandy shores, calm waters, and a lively promenade come together.

The beach is popular for swimming and a range of water sports, while the historic St Kilda Pier offers sweeping bay views and the chance to see the local little penguin colony at sunset.

Framed by palm trees and lined with cafés, restaurants, and bars, the foreshore captures the relaxed energy and coastal charm that define St Kilda.

Located beside Luna Park, the Palais Theatre is one of St Kilda’s most treasured landmarks. First opened in 1927 and designed by Henry Eli White, this historic “picture palace” helped shape the St Kilda foreshore into a celebrated entertainment destination.

Over the decades, the Palais has evolved from a grand cinema into a much-loved live performance venue, hosting ballet, opera, comedy, and world-class music acts. Today, it continues to stand as a cultural icon and a cornerstone of Melbourne’s live entertainment scene.

Luna Park’s most famous attraction is the Great Scenic Railway—a heritage wooden roller coaster that wraps around the park, delivering exhilarating twists, drops, and panoramic views across Port Phillip Bay. As the world’s oldest continually operating wooden coaster, it remains a rare piece of living history, complete with a traditional onboard brakeman still guiding each journey.

Blending nostalgia with excitement, Luna Park continues to evolve with a curated mix of heritage rides and modern attractions, remaining a much-loved destination for fun, energy, and seaside adventure in St Kilda.
