St Kilda Pier

The pier became a favourite destination for promenading, fishing, excursions and small boat moorings for much of the 20th century, as St Kilda became Melbourne's entertainment district and most popular beach.

Australian little penguins breeding amongst the rocks of the breakwater were first documented in 1974, with 100 altogether identified by 1989.

[4] In 2017, with the pier nearing the end of its design life, Parks Victoria, the owner of bayside infrastructure in Victoria, announced a plan to replace the current one, with two options designed by architects Jackson Clements Burroughs.

[5][6] The option of a new alignment angled to the south, with a curved end following the breakwater, was chosen.

[7] The pier remains a favourite destination for visitors to the St Kilda foreshore, with a walk to the end and back a popular activity.
