Suburb Spotlight: Albert Park

For family frolicking on long sandy beaches, look no further than beach side of Albert Park.

This suburb is leafy, charming and eclectic with some of the most decadent architecture in town. We all know that there's a park and a lake (if you don't, just google/wikipedia Albert Park), but what else does Albert Park have to offer?

1. Architecture.


Houses and other buildings dating back to the mid 1800s are dotted between modern beach houses, ramshackle bungalows and everything in between. Follow the cycle lanes through town to take yourself on a self-guided architectural tour. Make sure you stop by St. Vincent Place.



2. Beach.

Yeah! Miles of sand, and full of locals looking to chill out far from the tourist throng of St. Kilda.


This is the perfect place to relax, swim and catch up on your reading.



Got sand in your pants? Take a stroll up the pier.



Still itchy? Call some mates and hit the volleyball pitch.


3. Events.

There's always stuff going on in the area. Coming up: Grand Prix. Recently: a bike festival.



All in all, a great place to live or to visit.
