Green Point — Attraction in Melbourne

Here is my review on Green Point Brighton. This review can also be found on Facebook and Instagram. I have seen many a photo taken from this vantage point, but never knew it was from Green Point. This small piece of land is part of the Brighton Beach Gardens and is to the left of Brighton Beach and Dendy Street Beach. When the tide is out you can walk around to the 2 beaches from this point. It has a large car park plus a few picnic tables where you will find walkers having a coffee or photographers snapping the sunset. Many people photograph the Brighton Bathing Boxes and the City of Melbourne skyline in the distance from this place. If you enjoy a scenic drive, continue to other Bayside beaches.

It's also a great spot for viewing the NYE fireworks but it gets busy on NYE. As well a the great views, its a perfect spot to sit and just take a break. There's a small number of picnic tables with bench seats with good clean toilets nearby on the Esplanade.

I dislike the advertising plaques on the perimeter of the viewing platform. They are...

The positive: The view of the city from here is absolutely amazing. i love the view, especially at night it helps me think and relax. There are public toilets and a nice long track to walk along

The bad :

1: not allowed to smoke in an open space to me seems a bit stupid idea ( bayside ) meanwhile understanding the heath side of it we all have to live here so its time to allow everyone to enjoy this place and not segregate people just because they do something like smoking

2: I couldn't see any BBQs anywhere, which was a shame because it's such a nice place to have a BBQ

3: The fact that i have to pay for parking between 8 am and 8 pm. is another stupid idea from bayside who knew the Council could be dumb and greedy at...
