By the seaside
Williamstown has its own swimming beach, right across the road from the glorious Williamstown Botanic Gardens. If you are looking for something a bit more adventurous why not snorkel at stunning Jawbone Marine Sanctuary, the closest marine park to Melbourne.
Pedal power
Explore 23 kilometres of foreshore trail from Spotswood to Altona. Featured on the trail are public artworks and markers with interpretive panels to bring the local environment and history to life. The trail takes you through what was one of Victoria’s premier race tracks; the legendary Phar Lap even graced its track. Hire your bike today and explore the great outdoors.
Village vitality
Specialty shops, restaurants, cafes and historic pubs line Nelson Place right on the foreshore with stunning views to the city. Shopping precincts are within an easy stroll along the waterfront and offer distinctively different shopping experiences. Head to Ferguson Street and Douglas Parade for wonderful homewares, clothing stores and, of course, that something special. Shop until you drop but don’t despair a coffee is never far away at one of the many fabulous cafes in Hobsons Bay. Jump on a ferry, get on your bike, catch a train, travel the bridge or to get a real bird’s eye view of Hobsons Bay, take a Seaplane flight, getting around is half the fun.
