A LONG HISTORY
The pier's history stretches back to the 1850s, when it served practical commercial purposes as well as becoming a destination for seaside visitors. Its familiar pavilion was built in 1904, reflecting St Kilda's growing popularity as a place for recreation.
A REBUILT KIOSK
The historic-looking kiosk is a reconstruction. After fire destroyed the building in 2003, it was rebuilt using the original 1904 plans. Its appearance preserves an important part of the pier's identity, even though the structure itself is newer than it looks.
A MODERN PIER
The pier has entered another chapter with the new curved structure, which opened in December 2024. Extending approximately 450 metres, it provides a wider accessible walkway, seating and improved protection for the little penguin colony at the breakwater.
WILDLIFE AT THE PIER
Penguins are not the only wildlife associated with this place. Parks Victoria also identifies the shy native water rat, or rakali, as a possible sighting around the structures and shoreline.
A SPECIAL VIEW
Pause and look back towards St Kilda before finishing your visit. You have reached a place where maritime history, changing architecture and urban wildlife meet.
If you plan to return for penguin viewing, check the current booking arrangements: the managed evening viewing experience requires a separate reservation.
