Beaches

Yes, you can hit the beach even though it’s winter! There are plenty of options, from Melbourne’s beautiful beaches to those of Clearwater.

On many days, you’ll find that it’s warm enough to lie out in the sun and do all of your typical beach activities, though, of course, the water will be much colder than in the summer, so you should come prepared with a swim top or water shoes to keep yourself a bit warmer.

For many people, the winter beach time walks are the reason for the season. While the ocean breeze blows, you’ll feel the sand between your toes, and not a hint of snow will be in sight. It can be easy to ignore that other parts of the world have fallen into darkness and frost!
