Beautiful spot, we visited during the day and came back after sunset to watch the fairy penguins come onto the beach. They are so small and we heard them before we saw them. Best viewing for the penguins was from the higher platform which is closer to the middle of the beach. I’ll attach a photo, but you need to zoom in to see them at the waters edge. We saw them Tuesday 28th May 6.30pm. Very quiet and 4 other people.
Awesome experience.
Note: Their arrival occurs after sunset, so times will vary throughout the seasons. Locals were very helpful.
