Flinders Pier
An old pier on the shore of Western Port, with seagrass pipefish living beneath it. A well-known snorkelling and diving spot in Australia.
Flinders is a quiet fishing village on the shore of Western Port. Beneath Flinders Pier, which juts into the bay, lie seagrass beds and reefs that are home to seagrass pipefish, seahorses and many other fish. It is one of Victoria's most popular snorkelling and shore-diving spots, and professional dive operators also work here. You don't have to get in the water: you can fish from the pier and enjoy the sea views, and the town has a bakery and restaurants. The pier was once at risk of demolition due to its age, and has since been rebuilt. Opening arrangements should be confirmed with official sources.
