Smile penguin parade

They go to watch the "penguin parade" at Smmerland Beach.


Does "penguin parade" in the above refer to "penguin gathering" or "procession of penguins?" Thanks.

Difficult to say without fuller context.

Angli,

Are you referring to the 'penguin parade' at Summerland Beach on Phillip Island?

Yes, the 'penguin parade' is a famous tourist attraction where the penguins seem to march from the ocean to their home on the beach. The tourists pay a fee to see this 'procession of penguins'.

Cheers,
Amigos4
