The long, wooden pier is a popular spot for walking and fishing. Many of the fishermen along the pier will be happy to show you their catch if politely asked. At the end of the pier sits the historic kiosk, now a restaurant, which was rebuilt to the original plans in 2006 after an earlier arson attack. At the far end of the pier is the St Kilda breakwater, which is home to native water rats and the popular ''little penguins''. The colony has existed since the 1950s, nestled amongst the rocks of the breakwater. As it's not an official tourist development, you can see the penguins for free most days at sunset in the publicly accessible area of the breakwater. Respect the penguins by not touching them, feeding them or using flash photography. Alternatively, boat tours are available through Parks Victoria via their website.
