点评:We visited the Lillico Beach Penguin Viewing Platform just after sunset and had a fantastic experience. On arrival, friendly volunteers were on hand to provide helpful information and set up red lighting so visitors could safely watch the penguins as they made their way ashore to their nesting areas.
On the night of our visit in early March 2026, we were lucky enough to see around 70 penguins waddling up the beach, an unforgettable sight.
The viewing season runs from September through to April, with penguins typically arriving 30–60 minutes after sunset. It’s worth checking sunset times in advance for your chosen day, and the volunteers also maintain a Facebook page (“Little Penguins Lillico Beach”) where they share updates and nightly penguin numbers.
Visitors are asked to only use red lighting and avoid flash photography to protect the penguins. There are no toilet facilities on-site, but there is plenty of parking available.
Best of all, this is a free attraction and absolutely worth the visit if you’re in the area.
翻译:我们日落后不久便前往了利利科海滩企鹅观赏平台,体验非常棒。抵达后,友好的志愿者们热情地提供信息,并架设了红色照明灯,以便游客安全地观赏企鹅们返回岸边筑巢。
在我们2026年3月初的那个晚上,我们非常幸运地看到了大约70只企鹅摇摇摆摆地走上沙滩,这真是令人难忘的景象。
观赏季从9月持续到次年4月,企鹅通常在日落后30-60分钟到达。建议您提前查询所选日期的日落时间。志愿者们还维护着一个名为“Little Penguins Lillico Beach”(利利科海滩小企鹅)的Facebook页面,他们会在上面分享最新消息和每晚的企鹅数量。
为了保护企鹅,请游客仅使用红色照明灯,并避免使用闪光灯拍照。现场没有洗手间,但有充足的停车位。
最棒的是,这是一个免费景点,如果你在该地区,绝对值得一游。
