    Banff Cafe

    Grab a slice of pizza at Banff Cafe. The $5.50 deal is good value and the outdoor seating is pleasant.

  2. 20:24

    St Kilda Beach

    Walk 21 minutes west to St Kilda Beach. Find a spot on the sand facing west.

  3. 20:44

    St Kilda Beach

    Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light begins around 20:05, so you have about 40 minutes to settle in before the main event.

  4. 21:14

    Holy Grail

    Head to Holy Grail for a drink. It is a short walk from the beach and stays open late.

Local tip

The Jewish Museum of Australia closes at 16:00 on weekdays, so this plan works best if you start your evening after visiting or on a Sunday when it stays open until 17:00. Check the tram route if you need to get from the museum to the beach area.

Check before you go

  • Banff Cafe is open daily until 22:00.
  • Holy Grail is open from 15:00.
