Brighton Beach (Bathing Boxes)
Best time to visit
Early morning or late afternoon golden hour provides the best light for photography and cooler temperatures. Weekdays outside December to February are much quieter than summer weekends.
Budget tips
Public access to the foreshore and bathing boxes is free, though the boxes are privately owned and not open for public use. Take the Sandringham line to Middle Brighton station and walk 10 minutes to avoid parking fees, and bring picnic supplies to skip pricey cafes.

About
Бързи факти: Candy-coloured timber huts line the bluest slice of shore, creating picture-perfect reflections at sunrise and a nostalgic, salt-scented atmosphere that visitors love to photograph. Local families and artists repaint each hut in bold, quirky designs, and the collection now includes around 82 individually named boxes that have become small, fiercely guarded neighborhood icons.
Акценти: A row of exactly 82 candy-coloured timber bathing boxes hugs the pebbly foreshore, each one hand-painted with stripes, floral motifs or family names so closely that on a warm day you can smell the fresh timber and linseed oil. Generations of families quietly guard their boxes as private summer sheds, passing them down for decades and treating them like tiny heirlooms full of flaking paint, beach chairs and a stack of sun-faded postcards.
Insider tips
- Wear sunscreen, a hat and comfortable shoes for walking the pebbled foreshore.
- For reflection shots aim for low tide and frame the boxes with the bay behind them.
- Arrive early on weekends or visit on weekdays to avoid crowds and get unobstructed photos.
- Respect owners' property, do not attempt to enter private boxes and use nearby grassy spots for picnics.
