Beachcombing is a relaxing activity the whole family can get into. Why not take the young ones to Altona Beach to see what you can spot dotted along the shore?

This Altona stretch of coastline is an interesting place to begin your day of sightseeing. There's plenty to enjoy nearby, such as Station Pier, Williamstown Beach, and Scienceworks and Melbourne Planetarium. Take your time at Altona Beach before hitting up these other fine sights.

8/10 Very Good! (288 reviews)

A short train ride into the city and easy walking distance to the train station. Lots of fresh food at the markets nearby and the accommodation was spacious, clean and quiet. Construction work in the streets nearby was not a noise issue at all. Would have liked a ceiling fan in the bedroom and a clothes dryer for convenience but managed without both.
