Brighton Bathing Boxes

The 82 wooden bathing boxes at Dendy Street Beach display bright colors and patterns against the coastline of Port Phillip Bay.

Constructed during the 1860s, these bathing boxes provided changing facilities for beachgoers during the Victorian era when modesty standards were strict.

Each bathing box exhibits individual character through paint schemes and decorations while maintaining the traditional architectural style of weatherboard and iron roofs.

The bathing boxes remain privately owned structures without electricity or running water, requiring regular maintenance to preserve their condition.

These structures form the only remaining collection of historic bathing boxes near Melbourne's central district, with prices reaching 200,000 Australian dollars.
