St Kilda Foreshore

Overview

St Kilda is home to many of Melbourne's most iconic venues, but perhaps none are more totemic of the suburb than its foreshore. While this beachside promenade is popular all year round, it's when the warmer weather hits that the palm-lined boardwalk really comes to life with walkers, joggers and rollerbladers creating a hub of activity.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the sand, it's not uncommon to see kitesurfers, windsurfers and swimmers in, on and above the glistening waters of Melbourne's most famous beach.

The foreshore area is also home to the historic St Kilda Pier, a popular angling spot that dates back to 1853 and still offers some of the best CBD views from anywhere in town. If you head to the end of the pier, you'll be able to see the colony of resident fairy penguins burrowing in the rocks at the breakwater.
