Cultural and Theme Tours

Highlights

  • Explore the rejuvenated foreshore while walking or biking along 3 km of stunning coastal scenery.

For a seaside town of fewer than 4000 residents, we have much to offer. Our beautifully rejuvenated foreshore invites you to walk/bike from the eastern boundary along the foreshore through Preservation Bay & Sulphur Creek to the Bass Highway where our sentinel psychedelic penguin, named Pablo, greets/farewells you.

The App showcases 28 of our CBD attractions, covering a distance of just 3 km, past artwork, heritage and natural attractions.

So much to see and enjoy. Welcome

Ambling Among Penguin's Charms

Come along on a free 90-minute self-directed 3km audio walking tour in partnership with Cya on the Road. It showcases Penguin’s 28 CBD tourist attractions and is voiced by locals.

Starting at the famous and much-photographed Big Penguin, often dressed to the hilt for special occasions, visitors can amble along the recently refashioned beach foreshore.

Wind along past many of their heritage buildings and public artwork, heading up to the much-publicised heritage cemetery and vantage point overlooking Bass Strait and the CBD.

Then back via the Dutch windmill park to the once world-famous heritage-listed roadside gardens via parklands, restaurants, cafes and the large undercover Sunday market.
