We went there as requested by my daughter who loves photography. We had our dinner and arrived there by 7 pm, she wanted to take sun set, it was beautiful there with coastal walk. Local people enjoyed jogging or riding on bike, very pleasant. Keeping walking out to the pier, you will find the old supporting log remaining there became a sculpture point. Taking photos, enjoy the walk and good family time together.

St Kilda Pier is a Melbourne landmark and has traditionally been one of Melbourne's most popular tourist attractions. Providing panoramic views of the Melbourne skyline and Port Phillip Bay, the pier is a popular destination for strolling, cycling, in-line skating and fishing. St Kilda's Little Penguin colony is well-known for making the breakwater its home, and is a popular tourist attraction. You can view the Little Penguins from the viewing platform at St Kilda Pier or by charter boat. St Kilda Pier has safe wheelchair access, lighting, handrails, drinking fountains, toilets, barbeques and a picnic and playground area. Only 5km from Melbourne CBD, St Kilda is well serviced by public transport. Take the tram from the heart of the city. Alternatively, car parking is available in the vicinity of the foreshore.

I seriously don't bother going to Phillip Island anymore the fairy penguins are right here! It can depend on the night as to how many there are but we have been lucky on most occasions that we have been. There is also a great view of the city from the pier, a great photo opportunity beckons.
4. Rosebud Pier
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 54 reviews
Rosebud Pier is located opposite Jetty Road and extends about 300 metres into the water. The shipping channel comes in quite close to the end of the pier before heading out into the bay making every stroll along the pier interesting. Whether you are an experienced fisherman or just trying your luck, fishing is very popular from the pier. There is a wonderful new all abilities playground suitable for toddlers to young teens. This is a perfect spot for a family BBQ or picnic overlooking the safe swimming beach and pier. Public berthing is available on Rosebud Pier for a maximum of 48 hours (vessels should be attended at all times). Jumping and diving off the pier and other structures is prohibited for public safety. There are shallow areas and often unexpected submerged objects. Ensure dogs are kept on lead at all times and clean up after your dog.

Walking the Pier is the thing to do in [Portarlington...it is a genuinely nice walk past the fishing boats and visitors fishing off the pier and the amazing Ferry from Melbourne arrives here.

Lovely walk and beautiful place to take photos of the sunset. Some boards are uneven so take care with little or older people. Lots of people fishing on the night we went and they were entertaining. Water is clear and highly recommend a walk down to the end.

Such a lovely pier for strolling or fishing. Beautifully lit up at night time. Lovely views of Lorne from the pier and best of all for us was meeting Sammy the Seal who loves showing off in the water for his visitors. He was absolutely adorable.
10. Dromana Pier

Dromana is an awesome place for vacation for couples, families or just by yourself. The “village” feel is very inviting and there are so many excellent dining venues / options here, serving top quality cuisine and dining experiences of comparable standard to other popular venues in Melbourne. The pier is located right at the heart of Dromana. It is beautiful and from the pier, you can easily walk on the walking track along the beach. Unlike Rosebud, Rye, Sorrento or Portsea, one can easily enjoy the continuous and spectacular view of the bay and Dromana beach in your walk. There’re also many seats dotted along the walking track that you can rest and enjoy the view of Dromana Bay.
