Taking a stroll out onto the 200 metre Dromana pier and looking back towards Arthur's Seat with the bathing boxes and beach in the foreground is a picture perfect view.

Fishing from the pier is also very popular. The adjacent calm, sandy beaches provide safe swimming and boating opportunities and the Dromana foreshore reserve lines the coast and consists of grassy picnic areas, children's playground, shelters and walking tracks.

Jumping and diving off the pier and other structures is prohibited for public safety. There are shallow areas and often unexpected submerged objects

Ensure dogs are kept on lead at all times and clean up after your dog.

Temporary changes to access

Dromana Pier will close in October 2025 so we can start building the new pier. During this time, visitors can enjoy swimming, snorkelling and fishing at nearby Rosebud and Rye piers.

Access to the foreshore will also change when construction starts to ensure visitor safety and so equipment and materials can be stored onsite.
George A Bishop Reserve carpark will close for the duration of the build, with parking available at the Dromana Foreshore Reserve or along Point Nepean Road during this time.

We apologise for any inconvenience and look forward to welcoming you to the new Dromana Pier in mid to late 2026.
