Scenic stretch of sand in a central locale providing a variety of activities & dining. A little way south along the coast from St Kilda, Elwood Beach is usually less windswept than its big-time neighbour to the north, but almost just as popular, with locals flinging frisbees and tossing footballs across the golden sands most days during the summer months. The beach is surrounded by leafy Elwood Park, giving it a tranquil feel during non-peak hours, and there are playgrounds, kiosks and a couple of cafes close to the sand, making it a hit with families.
