Walk out on iconic St Kilda Pier for a stunning view of Melbourne city. Keep walking to go past the Kiosk on the pier (where you can pick up snacks and coffee) and you will find yourself on the rocky breakwall - step down onto the wooden walkway and look carefully into the rocks to find cute little penguins peering out at you. At dusk you may be lucky enough to see them walking in from the water.
