Melbourne’s Most Colorful Icon: Brighton Bathing Boxes

#holidayitinerary #must-visit #aussie #august2025
A trip to Melbourne wouldn’t be complete without seeing the Brighton Bathing Boxes. Lined neatly along the golden sands of Brighton Beach, these 80+ brightly painted wooden huts are one of the city’s most photographed spots — each box uniquely decorated with bold patterns, quirky designs, and vibrant colors.

☀️ Why Visit?
• It’s the perfect blend of history and charm — the boxes date back to the early 1900s when they were used as bathing sheds.
• An Instagram paradise — every hut tells its own story, making it fun to wander and pick your favorite for photos.
• The beach itself is lovely for a stroll, with clear views across the bay and even the Melbourne skyline in the distance on a clear day.

💡 Tips from Experience
I came in the late afternoon, when the sun softened and cast a golden glow across the beach. The colors popped even more, and the vibe was lively but not too crowded. If you’re driving, parking is available nearby, but it can fill up fast on weekends.
