Altona Pier

Highlight • Structure

Altona Pier extends into Port Phillip Bay and is one of Melbourne’s most popular fishing piers, attracting anglers year-round looking to catch snapper, flathead, and squid. There are beautiful, uninterrupted views across the bay, making it a fantastic spot for a casual stroll, taking a few photos or watching the sunset over the water. Located next to Altona Beach and the waterfront precinct, it is a great place to stop for a detour along the Hobsons Bay Coastal Trail.
