At sunset, we watched the little penguins return by the hundreds from the open sea to the beaches to their burrows for the evening. These tiny little penguins whose white bellies contrasted against the dark ocean water as they emerged on the sandy beach. They were adorable and what an amazing event to see in person!

There were kangaroos everywhere around the beaches and boardwalks.

We weren’t allowed to photograph the penguins after sunset but we did take these with some statue penguins for the memories.
