South Melbourne to St Kilda Pier Beach Walk

Join us for a relaxed evening walk along the beach from South Melbourne towards St Kilda Pier. We’ll follow the waterfront path, with bay views, beach paths, and a social, low-pressure pace. The full AllTrails route is about 7.1 km return, listed as moderate, with minimal elevation. AllTrails also lists it as an out-and-back trail, so we can keep the plan flexible depending on how people are feeling. 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.

The Spiritual Empaths Walking Group - Setting boundaries

For the spiritually awakened empaths and sensitive souls looking for friends and community 🫶 The Spiritual Empaths Walking Group is a social walking group that is held once a month at Ringwood Lake Park. A place for spiritual empaths to find other likeminded beautiful souls to enjoy the beauty of nature together, forge new friendships, give each other advice and support, talk about our healing journeys, spiritual topics and more. Each month we will have a different discussion topic but we can talk about anything and everything and just see where the walk takes us. Ringwood lake has multiple walking trails- all short 1-2km maximum. We will go at an easy pace so no one gets left behind. Kids are more than welcome! There is an awesome playground we can sit by after our walk and chat or can head to a nearby cafe for a hot drink. No pressure it’s just a go with the flow walk with other likeminded people. If this sounds like your kinda vibe, I’d love to see you on Sunday 9th August at 10am at Ringwood lake Park, next to the public toilets closest to Maroondah Hwy. There is a carpark off Mt Dandenong Road for those driving and Ringwood Station is about a 5/10 minute walk away. I’ll have a sign with the groups name so people know who to find! Any queries or need help finding us on the day please contact me (Carly) on 0421208211 or on meet up! Cost: FREE
