Frankston Waterfront and Boardwalk

Frankston Waterfront is the city's most iconic destination. Boasting sweeping views across Port Phillip Bay, the beachfront is home to iconic beach boxes, waterfront restaurants and cafes, as well as playgrounds, walking trails and bushland, ideal for those wanting a day of relaxation or a day of play.

Start your day strolling the boardwalk, beach training, or an ocean swim. Follow the coastal Arts Discovery Trail, try snorkelling, diving, bike riding or enjoy a picnic by the grass. At sundown, you can observe the most magnificent sunsets across the Bay and see the lights of Melbourne from atop Olivers Hill.

The Waterfront is frequented by both families and a youthful population from all areas. Foreshore events pepper the annual calendar, offering something for locals and visitors alike.

This beauty is within walking distance of local bars and laneways bustling with cafes and independent traders. Discover more at the Visitor Information Centre where you can pick up local maps and the staff can customise a day for you and your family to enjoy within the heart of Frankston or head to imaginefrankston.com to see the latest events and activities happening in Frankston City.
