Social Walk Along the Bay Trail to Watch the Sunset (~9km / 3 hours)

This walk happens every Saturday evening but the time will change based on the time the sunset happens at that time of year. In Winter it will usually start around 5pm and in Summer maybe around 7pm.

This meetup is meant to be a health-conscious yet social and fun alternative to meeting people in a bar or nightclub on Saturday nights.

It's also meant to be something people who love walking can do in summer when it might be a little too hot during the day.

Part of why we are excited about this event is the scenic beauty... it's one of my favourite places to walk in Melbourne... particularly at night when the air is cool, the streetlights are on and it's more quiet :)

We will meet at Station Pier because there is amenities, car-parking and the 109 tram line that goes to the city.

We will wait for 15 minutes for people to arrive then head south-east along the Bay Trail towards St Kilda. If you are going to be late then call me and I may be able to share our live location with you on WhatsApp so you can catch-up with the group.

The pace will be slow-to-medium because it's meant to be like a "nowhere to be, so just relax and enjoy the scenery and good conversation" vibe.

We will walk for about 4.5km to Catani Gardens (St Kilda) and have about a 30-minute break to just hang out in the park and hopefully look at the sunset if it's not too cloudy. We can even have a little walk on the beach if people feel like doing that!

Often some people prefer to finish their walk in St Kilda which is fine. But the official meetup group will walk back to where we started at Port Melbourne for a round-trip of 9km.

Would you like to "wet your whistle" afterwards? I recommend you go to a pub call the Pier Hotel which is near the finishing point in Port Melbourne. I usually fail to do so but still encourage people to try and drum-up some interest and get a group to go for drinks afterwards!

You are welcome to bring your dog if he is friendly.
