With its markets, funfairs and nightclubs, St. Kilda's actual beach is often overlooked. Just 20 minutes from the city by tram, it runs between the St. Kilda marina and the Royal Melbourne Yacht Club and is backed by parks and bike paths. It is a popular spot for a stroll, rollerblade or a sun-bake on a warm weekend, or to people watch, but swimming is somewhat less popular (not surprising so close to the city!) However, there is plenty more to keep you occupied. The historic St. Kilda pier is a favorite spot for a romantic evening stroll and the adjacent breakwater contains a small but growing colony of fairy penguins. And of course, the lively street life of Acland and Fitzroy Streets is just around the corner. The sand is raked daily by especially imported cleaning machines, and dogs are banned from the beach from Nov 1 to Apr 30, except for a small section north of the yacht club, where they are permitted year round.

Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa Barbara: Stay two nights, and receive the 3rd night FREE! www.SantaBarbaraCa.com/Partners
Jan 1st, 2010 to Feb 28th, 2010
St Kilda does not need a festival to remain an ever-popular weekend spot. Every Sunday in St. Kilda people have coffee or brunch, walk on the beach, window-shop, jog, rollerblade, sail or simply hanging out. The St Kilda Festival simply makes the "Sunday thing" bigger! Bop to cool sounds on the foreshore, cheer the bikini-clad volleyballers, buy some groovy handmade presents at the craft fair, be entertained by buskers and performers or simply hang out. With a fair and special children's activities too, the St Kilda Festival is an established favourite. Admission is free. See the website for further details. The Dates of the Festival next year are still to be announced.
