A bayside, residential suburb with tree-lined streets, centred around the railway station and Picnic Point.
At Picnic Point you will find a large reserve with an oval, croquet green, sporting clubrooms and one of the largest boat harbours on the Bay. The Sandringham Yacht Club lies behind a long breakwater with its jetties built around a WW1 submarine wreck.
A beach leads onto a narrow foreshore reserve that runs south to Half Moon Bay and north to Brighton. This is also the final resting place of the "Cerberus", which was sunk to form a breakwater.
Nearby is the Royal Melbourne Golf Course at the start of Melbourne's famous "sandbelt" - a strip of great golf courses.
Picnic Point is also the beginning of a coastal artists' trail that runs south through Beaumaris. It features display boards at the sites of paintings by some of Australia’s best artists, including Walter Withers, Clarice Beckett, Arthur Streeton, Charles Conder and Tom Roberts.
