The Frankston Beach Walk is a scenic coastal stroll along the Frankston Waterfront and Foreshore in Frankston, Victoria, located on the Mornington Peninsula, about 40 km south of Melbourne. This walk combines a 3m-wide raised timber boardwalk, pristine beaches, and nearby nature trails like Sweetwater Creek, offering stunning views of Port Phillip Bay and access to key attractions like Frankston Pier and the award-winning Foreshore Playground.
Key Details:

Location: Frankston Waterfront Reserve, stretching 5 km along the coastline from Wells Street (north) to Oliver’s Hill (south). The beach itself is 2.5 km long, starting at Oliver’s Hill Boat Ramp and extending past Frankston Pier and Kananook Creek toward Seaford Beach.
Distance and Duration: The boardwalk and foreshore paths vary, but a typical walk from Wells Street to Oliver’s Hill is about 5 km return (1-2 hours at a leisurely pace). Add the 220m-long Frankston Pier (440m return) for extra time.
Features:

Boardwalk: A 3m-wide, elevated timber path protects the delicate dune system, with multiple beach access points and seating areas for relaxing. It’s lit at night for evening strolls.
Frankston Pier: Built in 1857, extended in 1863, it’s a 220m walk with a 22-letter “secret message” in semaphore flags. Offers fishing and views of the Melbourne skyline on clear days.
Sweetwater Creek Trail: A tranquil path with boardwalks, bridges, and steps through remnant bushland, ideal for nature lovers. Dogs must be on-leash, and it’s a great spot for kids to explore.
Foreshore Playground: An award-winning, accessible playground with equipment for all ages and abilities, perfect for families.
Landmark Bridge: A dynamic bridge that moves slightly as you walk, adding a fun element.
Views and Activities: See colorful beach boxes, enjoy non-powered water activities like swimming or paddleboarding (check seasonal safety warnings), and visit the Sand Sculpting Australia Exhibition (December–April).


Access:

By Car: 20 minutes from Melbourne via the Nepean Highway. Parking is available at Frankston Pier (small fee), Oliver’s Hill Boat Ramp (free), or the lifesaving club. Summer parking can be busy.
By Train: Frankston Station is a short walk from the foreshore, easily accessible from Melbourne’s CBD.


Dog Rules: Dogs are prohibited on the beach from 9:30 am–7:30 pm (Dec 1–Mar 31); otherwise, they must be on-leash. The Sweetwater Creek trail is fully on-leash.
Safety Notes: Check for seasonal hazards like jellyfish. Erosion concerns exist in some areas, and unauthorized seawall construction has raised local issues, so stick to designated paths.

Suggested Walk:
Start at Frankston Pier (1N Pier Promenade), walk the boardwalk north toward Wells Street, passing Kananook Creek and the playground. Loop back via the Sweetwater Creek trail for a nature contrast, or extend to Oliver’s Hill Lookout for panoramic bay views. Stop at cafes like Waves on the Beach for a meal with ocean views
