Altona Pier
Altona Pier is a Melbourne west beach-pier surf check on Altona Beach in Hobsons Bay, where a rare south swell can wake up a mostly calm bay shoreline. It is a practical local break rather than a destination reef, with the pier, shallow water, and summer beach activity all part of the identity.
