Located on a picturesque landscape bordered by the Bass Strait, the Nobbies located on the south-west corner of Phillip Island. The Nobbies is a popular spot to see seals lazing around on Seal Rocks and viewing the magnificent landscape of Phillip Island in all its glory.

In the evening, head to the famous Penguin Parade which is located nearby. Here, visitors to the island will be able to see hundreds of tiny penguins as they emerge from the sea and waddle up to their nesting boxes in search of food and shelter. The Penguin Parade is a completely natural occurrence and the Phillip Island nature park has established viewing platforms and boardwalks so that visitors can watch this amazing spectacle without disturbing the penguins.

If you have time, head out to Churchill Island, the Chocolate Factory and the many nature parks located on the island.
