Port Melbourne’s most iconic landmark is open once again for the community to enjoy. Station Pier now welcomes the public on weekends and public holidays during daylight hours — except on cruise ship operation days.
This long-awaited reopening offers a rare opportunity to walk the historic wharf, take in sweeping bay views, and reconnect with Melbourne’s maritime heart. Enjoy a leisurely stroll, bring the family for fish and chips by the water, or simply pause to watch the ships glide across the bay.

♿ Accessibility: Check in with the gatehouse for any disability needs
