In contrast to the bustling commercial beach of St Kilda in Melbourne, Mills Beach is a quiet and relaxing beach. Depending on whether you want something a bit more busy or maybe a beach that leans on the peaceful side, Mills Beach is a hit or miss depending on your mood.
Essentially, if you want a relaxing time, there probably isn't a better beach than Mills.
~ The water for one is extremely clear with a sandbar that stretches out as far as you can see. When I say clear, I mean REALLY clear. You can see the little fishes swimming around your feet and legs.
~ Every now and again you'd see an owner walking their tiny little puppy. If you're a puppy lover like me, prepare to squeal your heart out.
~ The sand is soft instead of hard, rocky, and polluted by plastic.
Like I said, typically there's not many people down at Mills Beach nor are there commercial shops nearby. Mills Beach is more of a relaxation getaway.
