Altona Pier

Main public pier between Werribee South and Port Melbourne. The original timber pier at Altona was built in the late 1800s, with significant repair works carried out in the 1950s.The pier is nearing the end of its design, and work is in progress to replace it in 2023 as part of the Victorian Government’s construction blitz.It is popular fishing spot with the locals particularly due to the addition of an artificial reef located about 50 meters after the end of the pier. Nearby cafes attract sizable crowd during the weekends and public holidays and there are range of facilities such as barbeque areas, fresh water fountains, playground and public toilet.Fairly clam sea with small waves and southerly winds, attract kids, paddle boarders and kite surfers. Though the beach is open to dogs, you need to ensure dogs are kept on lead at all times.

Always liked the sea side,beaches where ever found during traveling. Altona pier is calm & cool place to visit,natural beauty adds more serenity to the place's attraction.

This is a lovely beach and the pier is a great place to walk down to have a taste of the ocean and if you fancy a quick dip into the sea!The beach is clean and there are restaurants very close so if you do get a little hungry, you won't have to go too far.You could easily spend one and a half hours at this place. It's a place to relax!

Altona pier currently has restricted access to its due to safety reasons. But surrounding beaches are still great places to cool down on a hot summer day and night. It's probably one of the best spots to watch the sunset whilst you enjoy your fish n chips or ice cream. Surrounded by grassy picnic areas. Toilets and shower facilities are also available. Popular area so parking can be hard. Do not park in areas where you shouldn't, as you are surely being booked.

Beautiful Altona beach and Pier. Once the old Pier is demolished it will all change. See it while you can. Mornings are best

Unexpectedly busy, but plenty of room to keep to yourself in Summer. Amazing spot to watch the sunset and the beach was pretty clean considering it was the end of a very hot day

The pier was built in 1888 and is heritage listed. Popular with anglers who regularly visit. On the weekend I watched someone hook a ray but unfortunately, it 'got away'. The pier is 300m long. The western side of the pier is where the kit surfers come on a windy day to test out their skills and it can be entertaining to watch them battle the winds. Body boarding and surfing aren't common because, well, this is no surf. It's a calm beach and ideal for small children. During summer the beach is patrolled.Across the road are two parks, Logan Reserve being the larger of the two with toilet facilities, barbeque, playground, seats and tables. Pier Street is also the street where all the shops are so if you need the obligatory fish and chips at the end of the day, this is where you come.
