This well stocked supermarket is 200 metres up the road from the ferry terminal, very easy to drop in after disembarking and the recommended place to do your shopping before arriving at our place. (It's also lovely to support the local businesses!)

Sightseeing

An endless stretch of sand, dunes, rocks and crashing waves this is the Southern Ocean side of the Island and is popular with surfers and fisherman. On the quiet days though the pools are perfect for toddler swimming, fishing, dolphin spotting and beach walks. The "Beach Barista" can be found there on busy days serving coffee and snacks (find him on Insta).

This stunning river flows out to see, winding its way through stringy barks and offering multiple camping/picnic/fishing locations. A new swing bridge is worth a look and there is great BBQ facilities and toilets.

A historical monument with great details about the first explorers who discovered Kangaroo Island, and a fabulous place to go for a rock scramble and rock-pool adventure. Protected from the South Westerly winds it is a great picnic spot whilst watching the ferry come and go from Penneshaw.

For the adventurous at heart this beautiful spot is off the beaten track and quite hard to access. A steep (but short) scurry down a cliff brings you to this wildly surprising and Mars-like landscape. Stunning for photos at sunset, it can be viewed from the carpark without having to make the decent onto the beach.
