HMVS Cerberus Shipwreck in Melbourne's Half Moon Bay

This is one of the hidden gems in Melbourne. Only 30mins drive from the city and a short drive down from Brighton Beach, the HMVS Cerberus shipwreck is a former Victorian naval ship that was purchased by the Sandringham city council and scuttled near the beach to act as a breakwater as well serving as a tourist attraction.

During the warmer months, you can go snorkelling near the shipwreck for some great sights and sealife. However, you will need to bring your own snorkelling gear (just remember to visit KMart, Big W, or Target to get some cheap snorkelling equipment).

There are toilet facilities nearby at the Lifesaving Club house for changing. Also. the Cerberus Beach House (https://goo.gl/maps/BDKoNasASyS2) is famous for its fish & chips and is great for a meal after a swim.
