Williamstown was both interesting and disappointing.

Interesting as a historic area built around the 1840s'50s, I grew up in an old town like that and felt at home. The historic aspect is really wonderful. Boring as all the shops are chain shops. I may as well go elsewhere.

So great place for tourism, not shopping.

    Williamstown is good for hot chips, ice cream, coffee, souvlaki on the beach. Of the hundreds of times I've been there I've never shopped.

    There are a couple of good local clothing and knack shops around douglas parade and down Ferguson St. The rents along there are atrocious which makes it hard but a few good local options that have survived for years and years. Down around Nelsons Place is a bit underwhelming at the moment though :-/
