Brighton Bathing Boxes are over 80 colorful wooden huts lined up on Brighton Beach in Melbourne. They were built in the late 1800s to serve as changing rooms during a time when modesty was required when bathing in the sea. Each hut has a unique design, some painted with national flags, others with pop art or nature motifs. It's a popular photo spot for both tourists and locals.
