Brighton Baths Health Club — Local services in Melbourne

The esteemed Brighton Baths located at 251 Esplanade, Brighton is many things - Historic, iconic and even - evocative to name a few. Opened in 1936, it's a deco brick marvel of architecture. Providing the unique possibility to safely swim 50 metre laps or splash around - the water is caged to keep out any debris or unwanted sea creatures. It's a beautiful place. The private beach provides solace and for those more active, an indoor and outdoor gym, steamroom and fitness classes are all available.
