When visiting the Lobster Shack in Cervantes, you can dine on local seafood, take a behind-the-scenes factory tour or even head out on a lobster-catching adventure.

On sunny days, the outdoor deck of the beachside restaurant is the perfect spot to tuck into a succulent seafood feast. Enjoy a menu featuring fresh fish, prawns, and, of course, lobster, caught locally and grilled to perfection. The restaurant operates on a walk-in basis for groups under 10, so there’s no need to book ahead.

For a behind-the-scenes look at the lobster industry, head to the Lobster Factory located next to the restaurant. The 30-minute tour takes you through the fascinating process of how lobsters are caught, sorted, and processed. From the overhead viewing platform, watch as live lobsters are sorted in the processing facility. The tour ends in the touch pool room, where you can get up close to the lobsters and even pick one up!

For a more hands-on experience, join a Lobster Catching Tour. Hop aboard a boat in the Jurien Bay Marine Park, where you’ll work alongside the skipper to haul in cray pots and bring in the day’s catch. The Lobster Shack also offers seasonal Sea Lion Swim tours, providing the chance to interact with playful Australian sea lions in their natural habitat.

Bookings for the Lobster Catching and Sea Lion Swim tours can be made online.
