Amusement and Theme Parks

The Nobbies Centre

More Information

Take a stroll along the boardwalks to soak up breathtaking coastal views. Overlooking the Bass Strait, the Nobbies boasts spectacular clifftop views. Follow the road past the Penguin Parade, through the scenic Summerland Peninsula, until you reach the very tip of the peninsula.

Explore the winding boardwalks (500m in length) and see the explosive blowhole in action.

Visit the Nobbies Centre to enjoy sustainably caught, MSC certified seafood and delicious coffee at the Nobbies Café and gaze out to the Nobbies rock formations and beyond to Seal Rocks, home of Australia’s largest fur seal colony. You may even spot a migrating whale in the right season.
