In this quiet court in a group of four, so close to the beach that you can smell the sea breeze. Walk to the top of the court, turn right then right again to find a walkway straight to the bay, where you can enjoy the social activities at the Altona Bowls Club, take a picnic with you on the beachfront Cresser Reserve (barbecue facilities), walk up the jetty or Altona Pier or find the perfect section of sand to pull up a beach towel and spend the day at Altona Beach. For those who love nature, Cherry Lake is 600 metres away and has gorgeous walking/bike trails around the conservation area, and there is also Altona Coastal Park with a variety of other walking trails. If you have an adventurous spirit, take a snorkel with you around the Coastal Park walking trails right around to Jawbone Marine Sanctuary to immerse yourself in the reef and the rockpools.

Or try The Greek Grill Eatery on Civic Parade for something closer. If you bring your dog, there’s an off-leash beach 200 metres away.
