Portsea Pier — Local services in Melbourne

Here is a snapshot of my TripAdvisor Review on Portsea Pier. Portsea pier is found along the coastal line of the Mornington Peninsula. There are two levels for the tourists to use and many a person has fished there [squid and snapper are popular catches] and scuba dived. Lots of people sit and watch the waves or look over the ocean or the coastline while having a coffee or a snack. The water here on most days is quite clear making it easy to see what is happening below the surface. Though jumping or diving off the pier is NOT allowed for safety reasons. If you have a dog with you, it has to stay leashed. Note that Portsea front beach has sandbagging happening at the moment due to erosion [access to one side of the beach is closed], so be sure to watch your step and follow the signs. If you continue around the bend you will find the Portsea Beach Huts. Parking is interesting and limited to 2 hours and they will fine you - so be careful and watch your time there. Not far from the pier are a few cafes and eateries - such as La Capucin [for a great coffee and snack - see review] and Radio Luna [for a super meal - see review]. A great place to take photos, have a relaxing walk, go for a swim and other wellbeing activities. Hop on down as the restrictions are slowly being lifted. [Review...

Plenty of fishermen on the pier with the long rods.. A lovely spot to appreciate and respect the strength of...

Amazing spot to visit. Great place to fish, kayak, paddle board, swim, scuba diving, walk and photo taking. There's lots of boats nearby for fishing/ diving tour. Public toilets available which includes showering. Heaps of parking spots for free (including multiliple disbale parking right in front of the pier), but tends to get crowded during mid day and evening. Few cafes and shops right beside the pier, which only open till 3pm. Also includes kids playground...
