Pennington Bay

Highlights

Pennington Bay on Kangaroo Island is an amazing spot for adventure! Known for its powerful waves, it’s a favourite for surfers looking for a challenge. If surfing isn’t your thing, you can still enjoy the stunning beach with its white sand, beautiful bushland, and cool wildlife. Keep an eye out for kangaroos and seabirds while you’re here!

Did you know? The bay’s rocky cliffs make it a great place to take photos, and during certain times of the year, you might even spot dolphins playing in the waves.

Adult Supervision Recommended

The waves can get rough here, so swimming should only be done with an adult or when the conditions are safe.
