Altona and Williamstown beaches are always popular during summer, but an especially hot start to 2025 has made both busier than usual.
The first weekend of this year on January 4 and 5 turned out to be the hottest in Melbourne for 10 years with temperatures climbing into the high 30’s on both days.
Unsurprisingly, both Altona and Williamstown beaches were packed as locals sought respite
A happy medium was reached on the following Friday though, with temperatures in the pleasant high 20’s rather than the oppressive high 30’s and beachgoers having much more room to enjoy themselves as a result.
Star Weekly photographer Ljubica Vrankovic went down to Altona beach on January 10 to capture some of the summer fun.
