A Town Called Penguin

Yes… Tasmania actually has a town called Penguin. 🐧


Penguin, Tasmania

Located on Tasmania’s northwest coast, this small seaside town fully embraces its name…
with penguin statues, coastal views, and a peaceful small-town charm.


But the name isn’t just for fun…
Penguin was named after the Little Penguins — also known as Fairy Penguins — that live along this coastline.

For generations, these tiny seabirds have returned to these shores, becoming a quiet symbol of the town’s identity and connection to nature.


From the iconic Big Penguin statue to scenic ocean walks,
this place feels simple… yet deeply meaningful — where wildlife, history, and community come together.


It’s more than just a name…
It’s a reminder of the small, fragile lives that share this coastline with us.
