Roaring Bay Penguins & Seals Observatory is a fantastic spot to see wildlife up close. From the viewing platform, you can watch little blue penguins returning to their nests in the evening and sometimes see fur seals lounging on the rocks. The observatory keeps you at a safe distance so the animals are not disturbed, making it perfect for wildlife photography. The walk from the car park is short and easy, and it is really special to see these native animals in their natural habitat.
