A three-metre concrete fairy penguin standing on the foreshore in the middle of town — earnest, slightly absurd, and the obvious photo stop for anyone driving Tasmania's north coast. The statue faces Bass Strait with the actual ocean a few metres behind.
The promenade either side is a pleasant five-minute walk in either direction, with benches, sculptures of smaller penguins set into the path, and views across to the water. The Big Penguin itself is free, always accessible, and reliably outfitted with whatever costume the local committee has settled on this season.
