Naomi’s Active Out and About Guidebook for St Kilda West and Surrounds
Active Lifestyle and Exercise
Making St Kilda West your home base to explore Victoria has the amazing benefit of all types of activities at your doorstep. Whether you like the fast lane road cycling with a peleton on a weekend morning or a slow saunter around the lake with a coffee stop or two the area has you covered.
Whether you're here to work, relax or play you can still get your exercise hours in with plenty of free and paid activities.
Perfect place for a bike ride, road cycle, rollerblade, jog, walk, scoot or even penny farthing cycle (keep your eye out for regular locals riding these and other unique wheeled contraptions). Walk with a pram or a friend.
Take your paddle board our on a calm wind day, or your kite board or sail boat when the winds pick up. Learn an activity or upskill with lessons provided by The Zu, Kite Republic and others outside West Beach Pavilion. Swim at the St Kilda Baths or in Port Phillip Bay when the water is inviting and clean. Find one of many outdoor exercise equipment beach gyms along the foreshore footpath.
