There are no other words that can best describe a place resplendent, with so much water and greenery, other than “heaven-on-earthâ€. For those individuals who are seeking a comfortable and relaxing escape from the draining rituals of daily life, a beach resort can be a perfect getaway.

Imagine the tall coconut trees swaying to the cool uplifting breeze, while listening to the serenade of the splashing waves. Is it not wonderful? Now, imagine diving into the cold blue waters, or bathing under the early morning sun, or strolling along the beach and watching the last rays of the sun fleeting across the horizon.

Beaches in Melbourne: do any have clear blue water or white sand?

I’m moving to Melbourne next year and was curious…
1) if any of the beaches close to or around the city have clear blue water or white sand (like bondi beach in Sydney)?
2) generally what are the nicest beaches in Melbourne?
3) what is the closest beach to Monash Uni?
i’m from Vancouver and am used to swimming in the cold pacific ocean. If anyone who’s been to Melbourne knows what the beaches are like (for swimming, surfing, etc.) that would be awesome…

Aspendale beach has squeaky pale coloured sand and the water is often quite clear down there too. There are many other nice beaches but most have the usual yellowish sand. (Bondi’s sand is the same colour and isn’t white either.) Monash isn’t particularly close to the bay, but Hampton and Black Rock and the other beaches further south on are are probably the easiest to get to.

None of Melbourne’s beaches have surf as they’re all located within Port Phillip Bay and Mel is completely mistaken as to the location of Bells Beach which is nowhere near St Kilda and is in fact around 100km southwest of Melbourne. It’s a great surf beach though it’s a long way from town and the water is usually pretty cold.
