Williamstown - Melbourne's Historic Waterfront Village

From the sandy, well-protected beach facing west, around the rugged Shelly Beach on the verge of historic Point Gellibrand, to Nelson place with its waterfront activities, there's so much to discover in Williamstown.

A town steeped in history but full of life! Take a ferry to the city or St Kilda, a sea-plane flight, or browse the galleries.

Enjoy a coffee from the bustling sidewalk cafes or a meal from restaurants offering every imaginable cuisine.

Williamstown is a vibrant easy walking/riding environment surrounded by water on three sides, and just minutes by car or train to the Melbourne CBD (take a ferry for a more leisurely trip).

When you've explored Williamstown, try Scienceworks interactive science museum at Spotswood; Werribee Park Mansion and its open range zoo at Werribee; or take a picnic lunch and go bush at Newport Lakes (a hidden paradise).

Activities in the area:

• Beach, marinas, boat hire within 1km.
• Bicycle tracks and walking paths along the waterfront,
• Over 30 cafes and restaurants,
• Galleries and Sunday Markets for browsing and shopping,
