The place
Lillico Beach
Lillico Beach Conservation Area has a purpose-built viewing platform on a pebbly coastal reserve just west of Devonport. Through the season, Parks & Wildlife volunteers are often on hand with red torches to guide and interpret the nightly return.
It's a handy, free stop — especially close to the Spirit of Tasmania terminal if you're arriving or leaving by ferry.
