The bottleshop is worth a visit by itself but on top of that you have a bar with various craft beers to have while you browse.

loved the atmosphere, the place itself, the service, the food (hawker truck), the beer, the gin AND the ease of ordering and paying from where we were sitting.
5. Braeside Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 30 reviews
Braeside Park is an oasis of parkland nestled amongst golf courses, urban development and busy roads. As you stroll through the park’s Red Gum grassy woodlands, heathland and around the wetlands, it's easy to forget you're surrounded by the suburbs. This is a great park for a family day out. Cook up a feast on one of the free electric barbecues, or enjoy a picnic on the lawn. Kids of all ages will love exploring the adventure playground. Get active and walk, jog or cycle along the multi-purpose trails. Walk where Phar Lap's hooves pounded the turf along the historic race course trail. Stroll through the park’s Red Gum grassy woodlands, heathland and around the wetlands.

The park is huge, surrounded with plenty of car parks, lots of grass areas and shaded areas. Most of the car parks were full, but the park is so big there is tons of space considering Covid social distancing. Big playground and space for the kids to run wild. Will definitely be back.
6. 2 Brothers Brewery & Beer Hall
Overall Ratings

Independent small craft brewery tucked away in it's own little pocket of Moorabbin. Serving fresh beer directly from the bright tanks and cooking up delicious eats every Thursday, Friday & Saturday. Champion Small Australian Brewery 2013 and Best Victorian Beer in 2010 and 2011 (IABA).
7. Karkarook Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 27 reviews
Karkarook Park is a recreational and environmental oasis, revegetated with indigenous plants. It's the perfect spot to get in touch with nature; watch the sun set across the lake from the pier or see how many different birds you can spot. The 15-hectare lake is a good spot for canoeing, kayaking or sailing. Previously a sand mine, it now provides a home for many water birds. Grab your fishing line and try to catch a Rainbow Trout or Red Fin. Get active and walk, jog or cycle around the 6km of trails in the park. The Lake Trail goes all the way around the lake. It's a great walk to explore the park. There's a small jetty along the trail — a good spot to drop a line and try your luck fishing. Bird watchers can take a short detour

Coming from different locations in bayside Melbourne, our group gathered in Karkarook Park, on a weekday in early December. Some of our group arrived early to secure a rotunda and electric barbecue. There were not many picnickers on this day but at the weekend it would no doubt be more difficult. Parks Victoria website has a visitor information PDF with a very good map of the park area. Mothers with prams and other walkers/runners were making good use of the tracks. Wheelchairs would easily cope with the paved lakeside path. The park is also dog friendly and includes a free range area. The usual responsible dog ownership applies. Make sure you have a 'doggy' pick-up bag with you. We spent about three hours at the park just having lunch and socialising. It's a 'take your rubbish home' park so remember to put in a rubbish bag if you are picknicking.

I have been coming to this beach for over 15 years, but as I moved away from the area I hadn't been in a while. I was pleasantly surprised due to the changes to this and subsequent beaches along the coast here. They are in the process of upgrading the bike and pedestrian paths at street level and have put in small carparks where you can pay with an app or credit card or coins. I highly recommend the app as you only pay for the amount of time you are there. Otherwise try and find off street free parking across the road, but watch for permit zones, as you can't park there unless you have a permit or you will be fined. The beach itself can be accessed easily and limited or no steps and different entry points. So those with mobility issues it is a great beach to visit safely. In the warmer months it is popular due to the fact that it isn't a dangerous beach and the water is quite warm. Families love this area too as the beach is long and wide enough to play sports, build sandcastles and incredibly child friendly. It isn't a patrolled beach, but the nearest one is Mordialloc Beach. If you have a dog, check the signs for allowances. It is also a great place to photograph sunsets and rock formations. There are also upper and lower walkways, so you have a choice for where to exercise. It is also worth noting that this is a super clean beach and I have seen COVID cleaners wiping down railings etc recently. There are a few shops nearby, train line [the Frankston Line] a bit further in, just in case you need snacks or don't want to drive here. Definitely worth a visit.

There is a very attractive playground, car parking, and public toilets (all at the Surf Life Saving Club) and shops nearby. Of course, the beach is wide, sandy, and clean. It is very close to the highway and railway station.
