Sandridge Lookout

Viewpoint adjoining the port, gravel road off sandridge beach leads to this view point. Watch the cargo ships dock, slowly. Or admire the city skyline (partially blocked by residential buildings) - facing east-ish, so sunrise is a good idea. If you are biking, ride around life saving Vic

Located a short walk down the Webb Trail from Port Melbourne, this elevated lookout offers views back over the Melbourne CBD as well as Port Philip Bay and the adjacent container terminal. An easy walk for all ages, there’s no food or drink options nearby so you’ll need to head back to the main area of Port Melbourne for sustenance.

A very pleasant stroll out to this quiet lookout with great views back at the city. If you enjoy industry, it also provides (limited!) views of the docks behind the lookout, where large container ships can be seen unloading.

Nice lookout for the city, also for a view of the port inner workings if that interests you.

Really worth to check it put. Good walking paths and lookouts,and shelter areas.

Nice views, bot not much to see, to be frank.

This is a really great lookout spot. You get a nice view of the city and its coastline, and good vantage point to see all of the different types of ships and boats that are visible on the lookout. A nice place go chill and relax at the end of the trail.

I never knew this place existed just happened upon it as I walking along the beach. It's such a cool walk out to the point and the view at the lookout is fantastic. The bay, then back to the beach and city and then on the other side you get a close up view of Webb dock. I loved it, will definitely be returning.

Good walk trail, suns out and great city views.
Lots of friendly people going for walks and very helpful fishermen's in this area. Took photos around dusk and nightfall for comparison, needless to say nighttime views bring out what Melbourne is really about.

If you want to drive and park to get here, you need to put 'Sandridge Beach' into your maps app. Otherwise you end up at the container and shipping yards close by. Getting all confused with Siri saying "Do a U turn at....." when the road ends at the wrong area 😑

Park up at the car parks allocated for beach goers and its a 15 min casual stroll to the lookout, with public toilets and a park for kids along the way. Its very scenic and you can get some nice shots of the cityscape across the water of Port Phillip Bay. There are some little info signs of the area along the way. Keep an eye out for water rats! Or Rakali. I spotted a dead one in the bushes.

Nice walk (or ride) out to the lookout with great views across the bay towards the city. The lookout has a long ramp to the viewing area so you can even ride to the top!

I just discovered this hidden gem whilst exploring on my bike today. Such a unique view of the bay and the city. Everyone was very friendly and rumour has it it’s stunning at sunset. You can stand close to the container ships in Webb Dock and see them being unloaded by the machines… it would be a hit with kids I’m sure! My pictures do not do the area justice.

Fantasic lookout with almost 360 deg views!!!

The Webb Point Observation Platform, also known as the Sandridge Lookout, is an elevated observation deck which gives you an almost 360 degree panoramic view of the area; the Bay, Williamstown, West Gate Bridge and the City, even as far as the Star Observation Wheel in Docklands.

It's also a good spot to watch the fishermen fish for Snapper however, the wind howling through the observation deck's corten slats creates quite a harsh sound.

Nice walk trial and lookout to overlook Australia’s busiest port and the city of Melbourne

This walk and lookout has been our savour during lockdown. This walk is within 5km from our place.

Great spot to walk or cycle....never too busy and lots of maritime action.

Great view of the city at night

A pretty quiet place for a morning walk or a bask under the sun

Absolutely breathtaking views at night. Dress warm.

Great view of the city and bay. if you walk from here to the top of Bay Street it’s a good 3km stretch. Great view of the shops coming and go
