Trevor Barker Beach Oval

The closest Melbourne’s beloved sport can get to her less-beloved beaches, this footy mini-mecca means you can still head for sand and surf when the sun is just a hazy memory. Infamous for windy games, the beachside oval’s home to the Sandringham Zebras. Catch a Sunday arvo match for hot pies, a rowdy grandstand, or in the case of unseasonal sunshine, a bracing half-time dip.
