Williamstown and Altona beaches were popular places to be last week.

Families rushed into the waves for a cool dip as the temperature broke through into the 30s, after water quality returned to safe levels following a vegetable oil spill earlier this month.

Star Weekly photographer Damjan Janevski stopped by to capture these pictures.
