Lily's Driftwood Bay is a Northern Irish 2D animated mixed-media television series for children. Produced in Northern Ireland, the series premiered on Nick Jr. in the UK and Ireland on 5 May 2014. It is created and produced by Sixteen South, based on an original idea and characters by Joanne Carmichael.
An imaginative 5-year-old hunter named Lily and her Dad live in a beach hut on an otherwise deserted beach. They give the impression of a family living 'off grid' with their patched clothes and Dad's plain look - their transport is an old van, and Lily having only a seagull for friendship and most of her toys compromising of 'sea treasure' found on the beach.
In episode 35 "Goodbye Seabird" Lily is presented a framed photograph, from her father, showing a slightly younger Lily, her father and a red haired lady by her father's side. The episode deals with the death of a seabird on Driftwood Bay and a suggestion could be that Lily's mother recently died given that Lily appears only a couple of years younger in the photograph.
The series premiered on Sprout in the United States on 12 May and on ABC in Australia on 19 May 2014. In Ireland, it airs on RTÉ. It is now also airing on Channel 5 - Milkshake! in the UK. Piwi+ in France on August 2016. Family Jr. in Canada on September 3, 2016.,
