About Flinders Pier
Seagrass beds beneath Flinders Pier provide camouflage and habitat for weedy seadragons, with males sometimes carrying eggs during breeding season. Sponge-covered pylons and the surrounding seabed also attract smooth stingrays, giant Australian cuttlefish, cowfish and leatherjackets; Australian fur seals occasionally visit.
Access — entry & exit
It's a 330 metre long pier with many ladders and step platforms to allow for easy entry/exit points. Entry is easiest from the lower landing, which at high tide can be often covered by water. You can also come head out from the shore. Exit can be either from the shore or the same as the entry, which again at high tide is covered and makes it easy to get up.
