Brighton Beach | A Must-Visit in Melbourne 🇦🇺🎨

#summervacay There may be many Brighton Beaches around the world, but the one in Melbourne is truly one of a kind. Why? Because it’s home to the iconic row of Brighton Bathing Boxes — vibrant, colorful beach huts that are now one of the city's most Instagrammable spots! 📸🌈 Right nearby, you’ll also find the modern architectural gem: Brighton Life Saving Club, a standout project by JCB Architects 🏖️✨ The Story Behind the Bathing Boxes 🏠💬 These charming little huts date back to the 19th century, when British society started placing more emphasis on protecting women’s privacy in public spaces — especially at the beach. That idea carried across the ocean to Australia, and soon, simple wooden boxes were built along Brighton Beach for women to change clothes discreetly. At first, the huts were plain and functional. But by the 20th century, people began painting them in bold colors, decorating them with flags and creative designs as a form of personal expression. 🎨🇦🇺 Today, each box is unique, full of personality, and makes for the perfect backdrop for that sunny beach photo. ☀️🌊 📍Getting There: Just a 30-minute train ride from Melbourne’s CBD to Brighton Beach Station, then a short walk to the sand. #brightonbeach #melbournemustdo #bathingboxes #beachvibes #australiatravel
