Why it's worth checking out

The St Kilda Breakwater extends into Port Phillip Bay at St Kilda, by the famous St Kilda Pier in Melbourne's bayside south. With 842 reviews behind its 4.6 rating, it's a much-loved spot.

The appeal is a lovely waterside walk with a special bonus — the breakwater is famous as the home of a colony of little penguins, who return at dusk, making it a wonderful free spot for a stroll, a sunset and the chance to glimpse wildlife. The lovely bay-and-city views and the iconic St Kilda foreshore add to the charm.

Conditions change with the weather, tides and seasons, and the penguins are a protected colony — view them quietly, never use flash, and follow any signage. Bring a jacket for the breeze, take care near the water, and enjoy this lovely spot, especially around sunset.

Spot Score

The Spot Score is our composite of five signals — two about the venue's standing with visitors and three about how complete and current this listing is. It is not a visitor rating and not a verdict on the food or the experience. The 4.6 from 842 reviews is Google's visitor rating, shown separately and never altered by us.
