It's great that we have #OutdoorShower facilities such as this one at #StKildaBeach, so people can rinse off the sand and salt water after spending the day at the #beach.
However, some of these shower areas suffer from bad drainage problems. Having to step into still warm sandy water in order to rinse off isn't the most appealing of circumstances but people do out of necessity. It is unfortunate that this occurs every season, and seems to be a common problem with outdoor showers at beaches around Port Phillip Bay, and one wonders if something can be done to improve them.
In the case of the one at St Kilda Beach, perhaps if this area was elevated, or situated on some form of decking, similar to the decking that exists only meters away as part of the boardwalk along the foreshore, it would allow for better drainage. Something to consider, City of Port Phillip?
