Penguin Viewing

Let's go penguin spotting!

Come nightfall, Stanley transforms into a penguin wonderland, offering an experience that really will make your holiday unforgettable.

The best time to see the Little Penguins is in the evening after dusk, when the little birds return to their burrows after a day at sea.

Head to the designated penguin watching platform at the end of Godfreys Beach. There, the specially equipped platform with soft red lights ensures you get an amazing view without disturbing the little feathery fellas.

Rules for Penguin Viewing on Tatlows Beach

Some Little Penguins also come to shore in front of the park on Tatlows Beach. Watch the shores closely, stay hushed and feel the magic as they return from their watery expeditions.

  • Only use torches if you have red cellophane taped over the globe top (available at reception). Do not shine torches directly at the Penguins
  • Do not take photos or video with a flash or light
  • Take care not to get too close to the penguins (stay a minimum of 5 metres away)
  • Don't block their path into the gardens or to the rocks
  • Don't stand on the rocks
  • Pets should not be taken to the foreshore at night
  • Pets must be kept locked inside your caravan, tent or cabin after dark for the safety of Little Penguins
  • Please don't ride bikes and scooters along the foreshore at night
  • Supervise children well
