The Great Bayside Beach Wander 14km - Sandringham to Aspendale

**🌊 The Great Bayside Beach Wander** **Eat Drink Dance Melbourne — Singles Only** Saturday 12 September Social lunch option: 12:00 pm Walk arrival window: 1:15 pm Departure: 1:30 pm sharp Distance: ~13.5 km Route: Sandringham → Black Rock - Mordialloc - Aspendale Age: 30+ People: Max 20 **Event Description — The Great Bayside Beach Wander** Welcome to the Great Bayside Beach Wander, a sun‑kissed, sea‑breezy, singles‑only coastal adventure for people who enjoy good company, long walks, and the smug satisfaction of knowing they spent their Saturday doing something wholesome and attractive. **Disclaimer**: I've not done this walk before so this will be exploratory for the organiser **Please note**: This event is waitlisted I will not be releasing the meeting point until the day before. I want a balanced gender mix, i.e even numbers of girls and guys. I have a creep code operating and event expectations around no shows, read on for how all this works.. We step off at 1:30 pm sharp — not “Bayside sharp”, not “I’m just grabbing a latte” sharp, but actual sharp. Please arrive by 1:15 pm if you’re walking. If you appear at 1:31 pm, you’ll witness a group of motivated humans already gliding down the foreshore like a well‑timed seabird migration. For those who want a social lunch beforehand, join us at 12:00 pm at a nearby café. Let the organiser know if you want to have a cafe lunch or coffee first. For those who prefer to arrive just for the walk, come at 1:15 pm ready to roll. What makes this walk great? - The full Bayside coastline — uninterrupted beach views from Sandringham all the way to Aspendale. - The Sandringham cliffs — dramatic sandstone edges and postcard‑worthy lookouts. - The Hampton foreshore — wide paths, gentle breezes, and very photogenic dog walkers. - The Brighton Beach Boxes — the iconic rainbow row of huts that make everyone feel like they’re in a tourism brochure. - Mentone’s golden stretch — long, open sand perfect for chatting, strolling, and pretending you’re in a music video. - Parkdale’s quiet beauty — peaceful, wide beaches with fewer crowds and more serenity. - Aspendale’s soft landing — a calm, relaxed finish with options for drinks, snacks, or a cheeky sunset linger. Distance & difficulty - Distance:~ 13.5 km (slightly longer than 13 km) - Difficulty: Easy–moderate (flat coastal paths) - Vibe: Social, scenic, lightly cheeky, zero pressure This is a straight‑line coastal walk — no detours, no tricky navigation, just pure foreshore bliss. **Meeting point policy** Due to previous incidents of unregistered people bypassing waitlists and showing up unannounced, the exact meeting point will ONLY be sent to confirmed attendees. You’ll receive a message from the organiser the day before with the precise location. If you don’t receive it, you’re not on the list — simple as that. Who this walk is for - People who enjoy long coastal walks - People who like social, low‑pressure group activities - People who appreciate beaches, humour, and mild chaos - People who prefer IRL socialising over apps - People who can commit to being on time **Route vibe** **We** follow the foreshore path south from Sandringham, weaving througuh beaches, cliffs, boardwalks, and open coastal stretches. Expect sea air, sunshine, and plenty of opportunities to chat with different people along the way. **🧣 What to Bring** Comfortable walking shoes Snacks + water Winter layers A playful, open attitude Curiosity for strangers who might not stay strangers ⚠️ **Group Rules & Event Etiquette ⚠️** **These are basic, commonsense** standards that keep events safe, smooth, and enjoyable for everyone. **💘 Flirtation Guidelines** This is a social event, not a pressure cooker.Don’t be pushy about phone numbers — let the moment offer itself Don't send unsolicited messages, get in person permission first If the vibe is mutual, go for it Become a regular — I’ll be testing this format over 3–4 events You’ll likely see the same lovely humans again at future singles nights/events or Eat Drink Dance “open” events The goal is to build a small, recurring ecosystem where people feel comfortable, familiar, and relaxed enough to be themselves. 👟 **Fitness** **Requirements** Walking: 3–4 km/hr. Moderate fitness. enough to walk 15 km with limited stops We walk at a relaxed pace. Please ensure you meet the fitness level for the event. If the group is forced to wait excessively, you may be asked to leave the event. ⛹️ **Pace: Too Fast or Too Slow** Small social events rely on staying together. If you prefer a very different pace, consider going solo, joining a faster/slower group, or choosing events that match your fitness. 👩‍💼 **Time** **Constraints** If you’re on a tight schedule, this may not be the right event. Social activities rarely run exactly on time. **👥Waitlist & Gender Ratios** To keep things balanced and comfortable: Event capped at 12 people to test interest, if my star signs are in favour I may increase this to 20 Generally guys admitted only after a woman registers (to maintain ratios) at my discretion. Group regulars get priority access. **Female** **Privilege**: New Idea There is usually a waitlist of men. The first female that discretely messages the organiser gets first dibs on any guy that is on the waitlist to have him included. Assuming this occurs within 12 hours of being put into the going list. Otherwise the organiser chooses. Women can be a little flaky (we love them anyway), so I may accept 1–2 extra **🧭The** **Creep** **Code** A refined social compass keeps the vibe safe, fun, and drama‑free. So: No married/Seperated individuals or those already coupled up (generally) No Tinder Swindler‑style minglers **Guys**: Please Take Special Note Must have a clear face photo (no sunglasses, no blurry shadows, no “mysterious man in witness protection”) Don't send unsolicited messages, that's creep gold.. ⚠️Don't obscure your identity in other words. No wide shots taken from a distance where you can't be identified. No yacht/car/jet flexing — if your profile screams “crypto‑adjacent”, you will be gently declined. If you are declined, update your profile photo to something less creepy and more classy **Girls**: No restrictions — privacy and safety first” **⚠️ CRITICAL EXPECTATIONS** ⚠️ 👻 **No‑Shows** No‑shows block waitlisted people from attending and disrupt small-group events. ***Remove yourself at least 24 hours before the event, cancellations within 24 hour of the evevt when there is a waitlist will result in group removal People on the waitlist need more than 24 hours notice that they have been approved to attend.. Flaking within this time period prevents waitlist people from attending No‑shows will be removed from the group. *Last‑minute cancellations (“flaking”) may also result in group removal, especially when there is a waitlist. **👀 Attending Without Being on the Going List** This is a security issue. Do NOT turn up unannounced. If you’re not on the Going list and haven’t arranged it with the organiser beforehand, you will be asked to leave. Event check‑ins are performed. ⏰ **Late** **Arrivals** If you’re late, the group will not wait. You willl be marked as a No‑Show and removed from the group. Messages will not be monitored after the event starts *It’s your responsibility to communicate and catch up before the evevt starts—this may not be possible for some events. **🎲Second** **Chances** If something goes wrong, communicate with the organiser. Silence + poor behaviour = removal. Communication + accountability = second chances. As the organiser is busy organising this may be impossible during the event. **🚩Disclaimer: No Liability & Organiser** **Indemnity** By participating in this event, you acknowledge and accept full personal responsibility for your own safety, wellbeing, and belongings. The organiser assumes no liability for injury, loss, or damage incurred during the activity. Participation is entirely at your own risk.

Total 2.5 hours. **Difficulty:** Easy **Toilets:** Near the start, plus at the café. **Coffee:** The **Boat Shed Café** at the yacht club on the lake.

Beach Walk & Good Conversation | Brighton to St Kilda

**A gentle seaside walk from Brighton to St Kilda, for people who enjoy meaningful conversation without pressure or performance.** It's 8km along the foreshore - around two and a quarter hours at an easy pace, with stops. Flat the whole way, and beautiful. We walk in small clusters that naturally re-form as we go, so you'll end up talking with several different people rather than the same one the whole way. **Where to meet** 📍 Brighton Beach Station carpark, behind the station near the bicycle parking (see the map in the photos) 🕒 4:00pm for a 4:15pm start 🚶 First stop is the Beach Boxes **Rough timings** * 4:00pm – meet at Brighton Beach Station carpark * 4:15pm – start walking * \~4:35pm – toilet stop at Brighton Baths * \~5:40pm – passing Elwood Beach * \~6:30pm – arrive St Kilda, optional dinner **On the walk** There's light structure so nobody feels awkward arriving on their own, but plenty of freedom to just enjoy the views and the company. Good Conversation questions will be available - completely optional. We'll regroup at a few points along the way, including the toilet stop at Brighton Baths. You're welcome to peel off at any station along the route if you've had enough - no need to explain, just let one of us know. **This is for you if you enjoy** * Thoughtful, curious conversation * Being outdoors and moving your body gently * Social connection that feels relaxed and human * Meeting likeminded people without loud venues or small talk overload **What to bring** Comfortable shoes, layers, water and sun protection. It's the bay, so it's usually cooler and windier than the city. **Weather:** we walk in light rain. If it's genuinely miserable we may post here by midday - check the event page before you leave home. **Afterwards** Optional dinner in St Kilda from around 630pm for anyone who'd like to keep talking. Suggestion: Mya Tiger - the food is lovely, and there's a hidden bar upstairs worth a look. **Running late?** We start walking at 4:15pm and follow the foreshore path the whole way, so we're easy to find. Either walk quickly along the path to catch us up, or take a train or tram to a point further along and wait by the beach path for us to pass. Elwood Beach around 5:40pm is the easiest place to join us. The route map and timings are in the photos. Please note the host won't be checking their phone once we set off - they're on the walk too, and they'd rather be present with the group than on a screen. Everything you need is in this description. **Who it's for** Young-at-heart adults, most of our members somewhere between 25 and 50, though the vibe matters more than the number. Strictly 18+. Come as you are. Conversation's an invitation here, never an obligation. **Cost: free.** \-\-\-\-\-\- HOST RESOURCES: [https://mastercoaches.net/good-conversation-club-questions.pdf](https://mastercoaches.net/good-conversation-club-questions.pdf) Print double sided.

🦜🌊Bellarine Wetlands & Coastal Frolic — Ferry ⛴️ Day Trip and Walk - 16 km

🌊 **Bellarine Peninsula Wetlands & Coastal Frolic Day Trip -16km** — Singles 30+ Featuring the 10:40 am Sunday Ferry from Docklands to Portarlington **Location**: Portarlington to S.Leonards on the Bellarine Peninsula with wetlands, beaches and shipwrecks included **Meeting poin**t: Best to arrive at the ferry terminal at around 10.15/10.30 **Max**: 13 people Singles only please, no married or seperated individuals The walk will be broken up into two main sections with a luxurious lunch break between the walks. - A 5km wetlands and wildlife loop around Portarlington and then yummy lunch. - An 11km coastal walk to St.Leonards from Portarlington ***Of course if you're feeling lazy after the wetlands loop you can either catch the ferry back to Melbourne or the bus to Geelong/Melbourne***! If you’ve been craving a day that feels like a mini‑holiday — the kind where you meet new people, breathe fresh sea air, and maybe flirt a little under the early‑spring sunshine — this one’s for you. We’re catching the 10:40 am Sunday ferry from Docklands, gliding across the bay to Portarlington for a full coastal adventure with a fun, relaxed group of singles 30+. **Please note. Refer to group policy around waitlists, and no shows** The ferry ride itself is part of the charm: gentle waves, big windows, and that moment when Melbourne slowly disappears behind you and the Bellarine Peninsula appears ahead like a postcard. It’s the perfect social warm‑up — not too long, not too short, just enough time to settle in and start chatting. **🌿 Point Richards Wetlands — Birdlife, Boardwalks & Coastal Calm** **Once** we arrive, we’ll wander into the Point Richards Wetlands, a peaceful nature reserve that feels like stepping into another world. This place is a hotspot for extensive birdlife, and they put on a show: - Black swans gliding across the water like they’re hosting a royal procession - Spoonbills sweeping the shallows with their oversized beaks - Herons standing perfectly still, plotting whatever herons plot - Egrets flashing bright white wings against the reeds - Migratory birds dropping in like they’re on their own singles retreat - Pelicans doing their slow‑motion runway strut along the shoreline It’s calm, beautiful, and surprisingly social — wetlands have a way of slowing everyone down and opening up conversation. We’ll do a shortened loop here, enough to enjoy the boardwalks, the saltmarsh, and the wildlife without turning the day into a marathon. 🍽️ **Portarlington — Lunch, Laughs & Local Flavour** **After** the wetlands, we’ll drift back into Portarlington for a pub or café stop. This town punches above its weight when it comes to food: - Grand Hotel — classic pub meals, big portions, cold drinks - Arlo Wine Bar — pasta, wine, and a slightly cheeky “we could stay here all afternoon” vibe - Portarlington Bakehouse — quick, comforting, reliable - Pier‑side fish & chips — casual, salty, perfect Whether you want something hearty, something light, or something that pairs well with a glass of wine, Portarlington has you covered. 🌊 **The Coastal Walk — Beaches, Shipwrecks & Sea Creatures** **After** lunch, we begin the beautiful foreshore walk toward Indented Head and St Leonards — a long, scenic stretch of coastline that feels tailor‑made for social walking. Along the way you’ll see: - Turquoise shallows that look almost tropical - Long, open beaches perfect for relaxed pacing - Quiet coves where the water barely ripples - The Ozone shipwreck, rising from the water like a rusted ghost - Foreshore reserves dotted with native plants - Stingrays gliding in the shallows if the water is clear - Crabs scuttling across the sand like they’re late for a meeting - Pelicans supervising the coastline with their usual attitude - Views across the bay all the way to the You Yangs It’s flat, easy, and endlessly scenic — the kind of walk where conversations flow naturally and the kilometres disappear without anyone noticing. 🍟 **St Leonards — Fish & Chips, Pub Time & Cheeky Extras** **We** finish at St Leonards Jetty, a peaceful seaside village with just enough charm to make you want to linger. Food options here include: - Fish & chips by the water — salty, crispy, perfect after a long walk - St Leonards Hotel — relaxed pub energy, outdoor seating, great for a cheeky drink If the group chemistry is flowing, there’s always room for a cheeky early dinner, a “just one more drink,” or a slow wander along the jetty before we head home. Nothing formal, nothing pressured — just the natural extension of a good day with good people. 🚍 **The Journey Home** — Bus, Train & Daylight Saving Magic From St Leonards, we hop onto the Route 60 bus to Geelong, then glide back to Melbourne on the train. And because daylight saving begins today, we’ll almost certainly arrive back in Melbourne in daylight — that warm, golden early‑evening glow that makes everything feel softer, friendlier, and a little more romantic. **⚠️ Important Ferry Note** The ferry can fill quickly, so please book your 10:40 am Sunday ferry several days in advance. I’ll send out a reminder before the event. If you don’t secure a ticket, you’ll need to make your own way to Portarlington to join the walk. **⚠️Group Rules & Event Etiquette ⚠️** **These** are basic, commonsense standards that keep events safe, smooth, and enjoyable for everyone. **💘Flirtation Guidelines** **This** is a social event, not a pressure cooker.Don’t be pushy about phone numbers — let the moment offer itself Don't send unsolicited messages, get in person permission first If the vibe is mutual, go for it Become a regular — I’ll be testing this format over 3–4 events You’ll likely see the same lovely humans again at future singles nights/events or Eat Drink Dance “open” events The goal is to build a small, recurring ecosystem where people feel comfortable, familiar, and relaxed enough to be themselves. **👟Fitness Requirements** **Walking**: 3–4 km/hr.

The full AllTrails route is about 7.1 km return, listed as moderate, with minimal elevation.

You can choose what suits you: * Shorter option: walk one way towards St Kilda Pier and head off from there. Trams are available nearby. * Full option: walk back with the group towards South Melbourne. This is a casual walk, not a fitness challenge. We’ll keep an easy social pace, and you’re welcome to leave early if you prefer the shorter option. **Links** Meetup start point: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/nGWgU4Fni1xPMgPG7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/nGWgU4Fni1xPMgPG7) AllTrails route link: [https://www.alltrails.com/trail/australia/victoria/st-kilda-pier-via-south-melbourne-beach](https://www.alltrails.com/trail/australia/victoria/st-kilda-pier-via-south-melbourne-beach) **Rough timeline** * 6:15pm – Meet outside South Melbourne Life Saving Club * 6:30pm – Start walking towards St Kilda * Around 7:15pm – Arrive near St Kilda Pier / short-walk finish option * 7:15–8:30pm – Return walk towards South Melbourne, with optional food or gelato depending on the group * 8:30pm – Meetup ends **What to bring** Comfortable walking shoes, water, and a warm layer. **What to expect** * Distance: About 7.1 km return for the full option * Difficulty: Moderate according to AllTrails, but mostly straightforward waterfront walking * Pace: Slow, easy, and social * Vibe: Relaxed, low-pressure, and welcoming to solo attendees **Important notes** * You can do the shorter one-way option and finish near St Kilda Pier. * You can leave early if needed. * The walk is weather-dependent, so please check the forecast and dress warmly. * We’ll aim to stay together, but the route is simple and flexible. * Optional food or gelato will depend on the group on the night.

This event is for people from the age 20-30, 30-40, 40-50 as separate 10 year ranges so the event is focused, so you'll be around people of the same age.
