Hastings Jetty, Hastings, Victoria

August 4, 2021

Fishermen look no further, Hastings Jetty is a great place to relax and throw in your fishing line or go out in your boat. With a nearby boat ramp you’re set to go out onto Western Port Bay.

For those keen to fish from the Hastings Jetty ensure you keep your eye on your camp chair, on different occasions we have witnessed fishermen chairs blow over into the bay. It can get mighty windy out there. The best time to fish here is said to be at high tide. Your catch of the day could be an Australian Salmon, Silver Trevally, Flathead or a King George Whiting to name a few that you could be taking home and putting on the BBQ.

If fishing isn’t your thing a walk out to the end of the jetty is lovely as you pass by moored fishing boats of all sizes. For photographers this makes a great photo. With pelicans and seagulls adding to the shot, especially if you are eating fish and chips!! No matter what the weather a trip here is worth the visit.

Tourists coming to the jetty precinct or looking for somewhere new to explore, the Visitor Centre which is situated in the old fishing shed is the place to go. The fishing shed was built in 1866 forming part of the jetty. You can view maps of the nearby area and read up on the history of the Jetty Precinct.
