Nice to walk the pier, watch the surfers, see the city in the distance. A pity that part of it is closed for safety reasons.

Review covers Dromana Pier, Dromana, Mornington Peninsula.
You can’t visit the Dromana shoreline without exploring the pier that extends 200 m into the bay – built in 1959 to replace the original. In 2014 it was patched up with repairs to the concrete/deck in an effort to prolong the life of the structure. Park Victoria completed a review in 2021 with the aim of considering a replacement. Walk the pier and reflect that this is where the original 19th century structure used to extend >400 m into water to enable it to handle the ships of the day. It was the time when the pier represented a key transport hub for the small township - linking people to neighbouring bay side settlements and, importantly, to Metropolitan Melbourne.
You can capture a glimpse of this from 30-40 minutes walking Dromana Pier to the far end, leaning on the guard rail overlooking the bay, examining the seabed and taking time to look across the water towards the Heads that lead to Bass Straits and/or back to Dromana and places further north; and then walk back again. Over 150 years the settlement has spread across the hills behind the shore to Arthurs Seat 300 m above the bay. This is the highest point on the peninsula, and the focus of a robust local tourist industry. Catch the modern cable car to the top and walk to the adventure gardens nearby and, a kilometre further along, explore the car museum. The views of the bay are better from the top – follow some of the walking trails in the Arthurs Seat State Park.
It is the view/experience from the end-of-the-pier, however, that represents the raison d'être for retaining these early seaboard structures. A pier provides access to the sea – actually being at sea – and all without getting wet. That’s today then – modern tourism in all it’s essential economic well-being (like it was pre-Covid-19). It will, of course, eventually return in some form.
But, back to those early days.
There have always been overland trails on the peninsula, and long before the Europeans arrived in the early 19th century. The peninsula was originally home to small populations of semi-nomadic First Australians – following/nurturing local food/feed resources on land and in the waters of the bay; for them foot trails were sufficient. It was the settlers, however, who required better transport links for the exploitation of timber, gravel, rock and sand. As crop/livestock production expanded the peninsular began to supply Melbourne with food - efficient transport became essential.
Coastal networks of passenger and freight shipping quickly expanded to meet demand; with it came the infrastructure required of ships and, equally, the competition to attract the ships into your settlement before your neighbours took the initiative. Key peninsula stops included St Kilda and Mordialloc close to Melbourne and, further south, Frankston, Mornington, Dromana, Sorrento and Portsea. Reliable deep-water berthing infrastructure was essential. In between there were jetties, breakwaters, short piers and similar provided by other settlements. Paddleboats capable of handling the shallow draught of shore-side settlements were introduced.
Dromana Pier is a classic structure - it juts out from the beach supported on piles/pillars in the water of sufficient depth for passengers and freight to be loaded/unloaded irrespective of the tide. Close on shore there would have been storage facilities – compounds, sheds, holding yards for livestock, timber and more. Now all gone.
Piers/infrastructure/coastal shipping dominated freight and passenger traffic from the earliest days of European settlement on the peninsula and throughout the country. This dependency existed through into the early-mid-20th century. Much of the early rail/road transport that was introduced simply linked centres of population to the nearest seaports.
Live in the 21st century with modern highways and personal/freight transport always available and it is difficult to appreciate the importance of local/regional shipping. This declined from the mid-20th century on as roads/road transport developed, leaving behind much of the original shipping infrastructure - defunct port structures have been replaced by housing, parks and recreation; many structures fell into disuse and/or have been demolished and, others still, have been reclaimed and/or replaced for use by tourist/recreation/commercial/civic interests.
We have the Victorians (the mainly ex-British people from the late 19th century – not those from the state of the same name) who ‘re-discovered’ the pleasure of sea bathing; attracted to seaside towns with beaches where bathing was practical, providing bathing facilities/sheds and the on-shore esplanades, entertainment centres and more that focussed on pleasure. This is where the small piers of the day continue to have a role; people, in groups or singly, walking out to sea with the minimum of effort and the maximum of experience - taking the air, fishing, sharing a picnic and other similar/simple pleasures.
Stand at the far end of Dromana Pier and take in the bathing/beach huts spaced along the beach – a period architectural feature from >120 years ago; still in use, still appreciated. The pier is narrow and has just the single handrail along one side; the other remains open to the sea. This is where you keep an eye on the little ones (and, equally, the oldies with their sometimes less reliable walk). Better still, keep them off the pier. During our time there the water at the bay end of the pier was little more than a metre deep and easily accessible. But what a hassle it would be to jump in to rescue someone. In any case, there were signs prohibiting this - no diving either.

Dromana is an awesome place for vacation for couples, families or just by yourself. The “village” feel is very inviting and there are so many excellent dining venues / options here, serving top quality cuisine and dining experiences of comparable standard to other popular venues in Melbourne. The pier is located right at the heart of Dromana. It is beautiful and from the pier, you can easily walk on the walking track along the beach. Unlike Rosebud, Rye, Sorrento or Portsea, one can easily enjoy the continuous and spectacular view of the bay and Dromana beach in your walk. There’re also many seats dotted along the walking track that you can rest and enjoy the view of Dromana Bay.

I had never gone to Dromana before on the peninsula, it was always up on Sorrento and Portsea, but i must say i found dromana and with my child it was even better as I felt it was safer with the pier jumping and seeing how clear the water was, it was beautiful.

Located next to the playground this is a short pier but makes for a nice walk. It gives a great view looking back on the main street.

This is a clean and neat pier that is not that long and stretches out over clean white sand and clear water that is not that deep.There are great views north to Mt Martha and south east to Arthur's Seat. The beach on both sides of the pier are clean and pleasant and the small parking area at the entrance to the pier has recently been attractively renovated.

The pier is a must do thing if you are visiting Dromana. The walk along it is so pleasant and the water is just the most beautiful blue colour. The day we visited (Boxing Day), the water was full of people swimming and enjoying themselves in the calm beach beside the pier. It is a really nice location and there are quite a few cafes just across the road from it for a coffee or a meal.

The beach is pleasant and clean and the walk along the pier is also a pleasant experince. The water is clean and we saw a small sting ray. In summer it would be very crowded.
