Frankston Foreshore Cycling
Explore the beautiful Frankston Waterfront on the 3m wide, raised timber boardwalk designed to protect the vulnerable dune system. Wander the boardwalks and paths that stretch between Wells Street in the north and Olivers Hill in the south along part of this pristine beach and coastal habitat, to discover why Frankstonโs coastline is the envy of Melbourne at any time of the year.
There are delightful views of Port Phillip to be seen and there are many places to sit and relax along the way. You can also take a walk along the 220 metre long Frankston Pier and reveal the 22 letter โsecret messageโ on the pier flags.
