Nobbies Centre

WOW! Breathtaking views from every angle and best of all, free to view and capture photos of penguins returning to their nest. Be ready to be blown away 💨 as it’s windy as. Don’t forget to wear trousers and windbreaker and hold on to your hat 🌬️ worth the 1.5hr drive from the city. Would recommend to be on your list when visiting Melbourne

One of my favorite places to come and walk about. We got to see penguins and their little homes in the hillsides. We walked the whole path and took a lot of photos. We had an amazing time. Would recommend checking this place out if you're in the area. It is very much worth the time.

The walking path to the viewpoint is still fully accessible, but note that there are no toilets onsite. The closest facilities are at the Penguin Parade Visitor Centre, so it’s best to stop there first. The views from the top are absolutely breathtaking and worth the trip. No drones allowed unfortunately There’s plenty of parking on weekdays, but expect it to be busy or full on weekends.

Review Date: 25.05.2024 The boardwalk is absolutely stunning—a must-visit! If you're lucky, you'll catch a glimpse of penguins in their natural habitat, which is a truly magical experience. Peaceful, scenic, and perfect for nature lovers.

Visited during sunset and the view was absolutely stunning. The walkways are well-maintained and offer great vantage points to see the coastline and waves crashing below. The air was fresh, and the area felt peaceful despite a few tourists around. Seals could be seen from a distance, and the golden hour lighting made the whole place feel surreal. A great spot to take in nature and end the day.

Must wear wind proof jacket to withstand the strong wind, we are vy lucky to see a few penguines under the board walkway, many people searching for them & once found it will be a crowded spot with many photo shooting. The sea view with cliff, strong wave, birds, are breath taking. The road infront of parade will be blocked after 7pm+, public will not be able to see a free penguin go up shore. Drive slow & careful of wallaby or other animals crossing.

Was a spontaneous visit to this place and it didn’t disappoint. Well equipped centre and would make a good day out for all the family. Had a gift shop, cafe and a lot of seating areas to enjoy the views both inside and outside. Had a free museum that was very informative and very engaging. Glad we stopped by.

Was a great walking track. We were so happy to spot some penguins under the walkway! Great ocean view. Parking was a huge let down. Not nearly enough spaces and the traffic management could have been much better and safer (queuing up instead of just circling around and getting lucky).
