| Sandringham information and attractions |
The bayside suburb of Sandringham overlooks Port Phillip Bay and is situated between Hampton and Black Rock. Sandringham was originally known as "Gypsy Village" back in the days when it was little more than a fishing village based around Picnic Point. These days, it is a well-established suburb, with the village feel of its commercial heart being preserved along Station Street with its iconic palm trees. The coastline to the south of Sandringham consists of stretches of sandy beaches at the base of rocky cliffs. Pathways and clifftop parks line this section of the coast. At the northern end of Sandringham is the coastal feature of Picnic Point. Jetty Road traverses sports grounds on its journey down to sea level where there are boating clubs based around a harbour and breakwater. Adjacent to those clubs is the Hampton Pier from which northerly views can be enjoyed along the coast towards Hampton and Brighton. |
