St Kilda Penguins: Melbourne Best Kept Secret

Even some locals do not know that there is a little colony of penguin living in the heart of Melbourne.

St Kilda penguins are on St Kilda breakwater every night of the year.
You need to go at the end of the St Kilda Pier. And best things of all, this is absolutely free.

If you are visiting Melbourne you can certainly spend a day at St Kilda beach. Enjoy the beach, the shops and restaurants at Acland street then visit the little penguins.
In mid winter you may only see a few but in summer there are plenty. Best viewing is just after sunset.
You are not allowed to take flash photographs because flash can frighten or disorientate a penguin. So it is extremely difficult to get a good picture.

Do not try to touch them. Please respect their home and do not climb on the rocks.
Penguin Guides are on duty during the daylight saving period and will answer your questions.
