Coastal experiences

With a waterfront that is the envy of Melbourne and views to match, Frankston’s diverse coastal experiences are both engaging and photogenic. Soak up the vast views of Port Phillip Bay and Melbourne from Olivers Hill before joining friends to cycle or stroll over 10 km of boardwalks and paths that weave through the coastline’s native bushland.

During summer, the water is a hive of activity with swimmers, stand-up paddle boarders and skim boarders. Two boat launching ramps see the bay scattered with boats enjoying a spot of fishing – you might even catch sight of a dolphin! The Sun Smart foreshore regional playground is a wonderland of towering castles and tunnels. This award-winning realm of adventure includes a Liberty Swing so every child can play.

While the kids play, adults can settle into a beachside café or enjoy intimate restaurants as the sunset paints the bay. Pristine white beaches, perfect for summer time lounging or brisk winter walks, are punctuated only by sturdy piers, sculptures and playgrounds. Add to this, affordable dining options with endless bay views and Frankston’s coastal experiences are ideal at any time of the year.
