🚢 Melbourne Port Phillip Ferry Terminal | Waterfront transportation hub and scenic spot

📍 Location: Docklands waterfront, close to Melbourne CBD 🚤 Core functions - Ferry service: operating routes to and from Geelong, Portarlington and other bay towns, it is a convenient gateway to explore Port Phillip Bay. - Pier facilities: - Wooden main building: An open cafe (CAFE OPEN) is set under the eye-catching "Port Phillip Ferries" logo, providing simple meals and drinks, and you can enjoy the leisure of the waterside while waiting for the boat. - Waterfront wooden boardwalk: The wooden pile walkway extending to the bay reflects the city's light and shadow, suitable for shooting sunset blockbusters. 🌇 Unique experience 1. Panoramic view of the skyline: - Facing the Melbourne CBD skyline, the skyscrapers are plated with golden light at sunset, and the lights are even more dazzling at night. - The construction cranes in the background confirm the vigorous growth of the city, and the picture of the fusion of new and old is full of dynamic vitality. 2. A combination of dynamic and quiet atmosphere: - The water surface of the pier is as calm as a mirror, which forms a clever contrast with the hustle and bustle of the city on the other side, creating a relaxing feeling of "away from the dust but not away from the city". 💡 Travel Tips - The best time to visit: dusk (about 18:00-20:00 in summer), you can capture the three scenery of daytime, sunset and night view at the same time. - Joint tour suggestions: - Combined with Docklands attractions: Ferris wheel, waterfront art installations, waterfront restaurants. - The ferry route goes directly to Geelong in 1 hour, which is suitable for a day trip [official website ticket booking]. "Half-day stroll formula": cafe viewing → wooden boardwalk walk → take a ferry to ride the waves → return to enjoy the CBD night lights. #summervacay #myitinerary #travel #thingstodo #familytravel
