We had a pleasant walk along the Hobson's Bay Coastal Trial between Williamstown Botanical Gardens and the Altona Pier on a sunny Sunday morning. This section has coastal views near Williamstown then skirts the northern edges of the Jawbone Flora and Fauna Reserve (where some side trips are worthwhile) and Paisley-Challis wetlands, heads up to cross Kororoit Creek along some industrial area before rejoining the coast at PA Burns Reserve. The path is suitable for walking and bikes and wasn't too heavily frequented. Toilets were located near the Williamstown and Altona ends but were a bit hard to find in between. It is possible to walk from West Gate Bridge to Williamstown via the Bay Trail. We have previously done this and it is pleasant too and of similar quality and hugs the Yarra river and the coastline more with a variety of surfaces. A side trip to ScienceWorks is possible. The Point Gellibrand Coastal Heritage Park was quite blowy when we did that section and you take the bitumen road through the industrial port area. The path is very well maintained and easy to walk on. At the end we enjoyed a meal in the Altona shopping strip and then took the train back from Altona to Williamstown (via Newport) so we only had to walk one way.

What a fabulous oasis in Altona and nice and close to the beach. Habitat to many birds and other wildlife, I found the walking circuit around the lake to be just the right distance. Located on Miller’s Road not far from Seaholme Station, there is a large carpark, plenty of tables, shelters, bbq’s, a couple of playgrounds, a lot of fitness equipment, toilet blocks, water fountains and a track for bikes or walking. This lake was made in the early 1960’s designed for a flood retention basin for residential expansion in Altona and Brooklyn. However, it did have another life prior to this as a motor racing circuit, constructed in 1954. Certainly a valuable addition to the area. Wheelchair accessible. Plenty of open spaces for activities and kids play. Dogs welcome but please pick up their waste and keep on lead. Fishing allowed - but read the signs.
5. Altona Beach

I like this beach and it’s kept very clean by the council. Over the years it’s become more and more popular, particularly with kite surfers who entertain me when the wind is up. The pier is great and although shallow around it, still worth walking to the end and if you’re into fishing, drop a line in. Access is pretty good and the beach stretches quite some way. Birdlife at the west end is fabulous. Walking/cycling paths are shared. Close to shops I’d you need anything, I’d recommend Altona beach. Good parking. Wheelchair accessible pathways. Kid friendly. Dog friendly.

Williamstown Beach is golden, a safe beach for all the family. In summer, the beach is patrolled by lifesavers. It's one of Melbourne's favourite bay beaches; it's not too big and not too small. You can get a good view towards Melbourne across the Bay. It's not far from the Williamstown Beach railway station. If you just want a placid beach for children to have a splash, it's.ideal.
