Description

Originally built closer to the base of Oliver's Hill in 1857, the pier was constructed at its current site and extended into deeper waters in 1863, after a public petition.

The Frankston Pier has long been the focal point of the beach as it juts out into Port Phillip Bay.

Frankston Pier is a 220m long walk (each way) and is a favourite spot of locals and visitors to meander in any season.

The pier itself is managed by Parks Victoria.
