It was once a notorious location for smugglers, thugs and criminals, but today Port Melbourne is an upscale coastal suburb, with fancy apartments in high-rises and converted warehouses.
Cyclists follow the Bay Trail past Sandridge and Port Melbourne beaches, with views of kayakers on the bay and the Spirit of Tasmania ferry, which docks at Station Pier. Bay Street has trendy cafes and fine dining, and historic hotels serving pub grub. The history of the port cannot be under estimated with two massive piers adjacent to each other. Station Pier and Princes Pier which is a 580 metre long historic pier which not only saw off troops and travelers to foreign shores, Princes Pier would welcome them back home. Princes Pier also welcomed the arrival of thousands of post war migrants who walked through the massive iron gates to call Australia home.
