The Visitor Information Centre, located near Frankston Pier, at the end of Pier Promenade, is a central place from which to base your activities. There is ample car parking, with toilets, a children’s playground, picnic tables and barbecues.
Fishing off the Frankston Pier is a popular
activity. A boat ramp and trailer parking is
available. The impressive Landmark Bridge is a focal point of this attractive precinct. From here, you can walk south along the boardwalk to Olivers Hill and return along the beach.
This walk could be extended by crossing Nepean Highway at Liddesdale Avenue to enter Sweetwater Creek Nature Reserve.
Alternatively, head north from the Visitor Information Centre, and admire the stunning sea views as you cross Landmark Bridge to the new Frankston Yacht Club building. Take either the dune boardwalk, or follow the creek along Kananook Creek Boulevard, which will bring you to Wells Street and the Life Saving Club. You can extend this walk by continuing north along either Gould Street or Kananook Boulevard, joining up with the Kananook Creek Trail at Beach Street. Follow this delightful scenic trail beside the creek, crossing several historic footbridges, as you wind your way towards Seaford.
