Chelsea is one of those little gems about half an hour south-east of the city — you’ve got the Nepean Highway on one side and the sparkling water of Port Phillip Bay on the other. It’s proper beachside living without the crazy price tag. Long stretches of sand at Chelsea Beach, the old pier that’s been there forever, and Bicentennial Park, when you just want to wander under the trees with a coffee. Hop on the train at Chelsea station and you’re on the Frankston line straight into the city. It’s relaxed, it’s pretty, and it feels like you’re on holiday even when you’re just popping to the shops.
