About this walk

Frankston Waterfront Boardwalk

Explore the Frankston Waterfront along a 3m wide, raised timber boardwalk designed to protect the vulnerable dune system. This pram-friendly walk offers stunning views of Port Phillip Bay and plenty of spots for children to play on the beach.

Park at Kananook Creek Reserve and follow the creek to Frankston Pier. Walk along the pier to discover the 22 letters of the “secret message” on the pier flags. Continue along the boardwalk to the gravel track leading to the Jetty before returning the same way. The boardwalk is illuminated at night, adding to its charm.
