Warrnambool - Logans Beach Whale Watching Platform

Each year, roughly between late May and early October, Southern Right Whales return to their nursery at Logan's Beach to give birth and raise their calves.

Just offshore, in clear view, the giant, gentle mothers and their giant children loll about and play, enjoying the shelter of the bay.

The Logans Beach Whale Viewing Platforms is just to the east of the city, overlooking the whales favourite playground.

Review:

Check out the Great Ocean Road Whales Facebook Page before you come to see if there is any current whale activity. Patience and some luck is definitely required to spot whales. Rug up because it can be cold any time of the whale watching season and binoculars are very useful.

Even if you don't see any whales there is plenty of reading material at the site about whales - you can come home an expert on whales.

Logans Beach is nice for a walk but swimming is not recommended. Leave it to the whales.
