As well as having a range of European and Asian-style restaurants, Melbourne's Newport district is a culturally diverse suburb with a strong arts scene, as well as plenty to see and do. Local sporting facilities include everything from skate parks to golf courses, and lovers of open spaces can get away from it all with a stroll through the dunes of Sandy Point or a hike through the bushland of Newport Lakes. With so many activities on offer, the main dining trend is towards quick eats and light stir-fried lunches, with plenty of trendy cafe-bistros and noodle joints waiting to take your order.
