What to do and see in Kangaroo Island, South Australia: The Best Beaches

August 31, 2021 Jeremy Dunfee

Kangaroo Island is the epitome of variety, ripe with pristine beaches, historic lighthouses, conservation land, underground caves, rare honeybees, gourmet local delicacies and… penguins. Book a tour with the Kangaroo Island Penguin Centre to watch these tuxedoed darlings waddle along the water, then tuck into a hearty dinner featuring native ingredients like rich sheep’s-milk cheese, freshwater marron, olive oil and boutique wine. The island’s art galleries showcase the woodworking, glass-blowing and furniture-making talents of local craftsmen.

It has been and will always be our favorite holiday getaway. A serene place to relax at the beach house, and get down to the beach to swim, kayak or fish. There are wallabies in the bushes and often come out to gawk at the visitors. Cute!

A really good sized surf beach with something for everyone. A good swell & break and lots of open sand for sunbaking & swimming with plenty doing exactly that on our visit. Another spectacular stretch of coast to enjoy on Kangaroo Island.

What a cool part of Kangaroo Island ???????? The drive here was scenic and once we arrived we absorbed every part of this beautiful beach. We ate at the Rock Pool Cafe, climbed up over the hill and watched as a group of people raced into the water to swim with dolphins ???? We walked through the rocks and took some great photos. Only a handful of homes here. It would be such a peaceful and scenic place to live.

We anchored at Browns Beach for over a week and the holding was excellent. The protection from southerlies was great and the public barbecue and showers are fantastic
