Novice historian? A gourmet? An activity enthusiast? Yachty? Self proclaimed shopaholic? No matter what you are looking for, staying at Waratah Brighton opens up the myriad of wonderful things Bayside has to offer. Here's a snapshot of what you can do while staying in Brighton.

• Visit the famous Dendy Beach for a swim and walk along the colourful and iconic row of 82 bathing boxes that date back to the 1860's. Keep going along the beach towards the city and you'll arrived at the equally famous Brighton Baths, where you can enjoy a bite to eat or just have a drink while sitting at the waters edge, watching the sailing boats come and go from The Royal Brighton Yacht Club.
  
  
• The walking and bike track on the Brighton Beach foreshore extends in both directions leading you along the bay's edge to places like colourful bohemian St Kilda or in the opposite direction along the famous coastal art trail, stop at green point park to enjoy the best views of Melbourne City and then continue towards Black Rock where you can see the wartime relic, HMVS Cerberus, as she rests in the crystal clear shallow waters.

• For the gourmet and the shopping enthusiast, Church Street is where you want to be to soak up the bayside café latte 'scene' and atmosphere. Only a 10min walk from Waratah Brighton, Church Street has an enviable mix of fine dinning restaurants and cafes, exquisite fashion and retail stores, entertainment, beauty therapy day spas and hairdressers.
  
  
• Ride the train for one stop towards the city and hop off at North Brighton train station and you're on Bay Street. Here you will find an eclectic mix of retail stores, restaurants and business as well as the much-loved arthouse Palace Cinema Complex.
  
  
• To get to the City it is only an 18 minute train trip from Middle Brighton train station located on Church Street or a 25 minute drive by car.
  
  
• World-class golf courses such as the Royal Melbourne and Kingston Heath Golf Clubs are only a short car trip from Waratah Brighton.
