The three main things that make Port Melbourne one of the best suburbs in all of Melbourne is:

1) Beach - the beach is amazing during the summer months, but I like it even better during the winter months because you can have a nice walk on a Sunday afternoon and then get all warmed up with a nice hot coffee on one the many cafe's on Bay St. Admittedly there are cleaner beaches, but this is right on your doorstep, and it's a beautiful thing to wake up to every morning,

2) The Bars, Pubs and Clubs - I'm a bit younger, so I like to go out and Port Melbourne has everything from The Pier to the Beach Hotel. The Sloaney Poney on Crockford St is a massive favourite of mine as well. Great crowds as well out in Port Melbourne. While you may find a few footballer types (which normally I hate) it's not too bad.

3) The People - are sooooo friendly. There is a wide range of age groups, but generally most are quite social which makes Port Melbourne such a great place. From young singles and starting out families all the way up to retirees, everyone seems like they are on happy juice :) It's a great place to live.

If you are looking for such an energetic place to live, with a view to die for, then go Port Melbourne.
