Whale watching season is putting on a show, and Percy’s has front row seats!

Yesterday was packed with whale sightings right off Goolwa Beach, and the views from Percy’s at the Goolwa Surf Life Saving Club couldn’t be better.

Whether you’ve been braving the cold on the beach and need to warm up with a great coffee, or you’d rather grab a table upstairs, soak up the panoramic views and keep an eye out for the mum and calf that have been visiting our coastline, we’ve got you covered.

The grills are on, the coffee is flowing, the team is ready, and the whales are doing their thing.

Open today from 9am to 8pm.

Who knows… your next coffee might come with a whale sighting. 🐋☕
