St Kilda Beach runs about 900 m along Hobsons Bay, with gently sloping soft sand and a flat concrete-and-timber boardwalk along its full length. There are around 13 accessible entry points onto the boardwalk, but fewer ramped routes down to the sand. Along the way you’ll find accessible drinking fountains, benches and some grassy picnic spots. The boardwalk links to St Kilda Pier, the Shakespear Grove Platform and the St Kilda Promenade, with its cafés, shops and the St Kilda Sea Baths. Further south, it connects to the Stokehouse and Donovans restaurants

There are three publicly accessible toilets along the length of the beach. The northernmost toilet is located inside the St Kilda Sea Baths Complex. The middlemost toilet is located beside the St Kilda Life Saving Club. And the southernmost toilet is located by the Marina Reserve.
