Built as one of three ‘open sea bathing houses’ during St Kilda’s lively restoration of the late 1920s, the stunning art-deco style Bathers Pavilion was home to the classic beach experience.

However, in the 1960s as St Kilda became known for its bohemian style, attracting artists and musicians from the city, the historic pavilion was decommissioned and left in disrepair as a candidate for demolition.

Thanks to popularity of kite surfing and some new visitors to the area, West Beach Bathers was on its way to being an iconic staple once again. After a well-constructed two year redevelopment, West Beach Bathers Pavilion emerged from the ruins, keeping the historical structure intact and fitting floor-to-ceiling windows and an expansive wrap around deck with an impeccable beach front view.

West Beach Bathers Pavilion is not only a great place to stop for a drink but is also a wonderful dog friendly establishment right in front of the most popular dog beach in Melbourne, West Beach!
