It's a neighbour to the popular Kangaroo Island attraction Seal Bay , but you're unlikely to find any sea lions at . Instead, there's just a long stretch of sand that's good for walks or a break from your day's activities.





The beach does have a day use area that's located well back from the water, making it a good place for a picnic. This section has tables, toilets, BBQs and a shelter. Don't make the mistake of stopping here if you want to walk to the go to beach though, as the water is still quite a distance away.





I wouldn't recommend heading all the way to just for the scenery. Other beaches on the island are much more of a destination by themselves, including those at Pennington Bay, Stokes Bay , Vivonne Bay and Emu Bay.



This beach is probably most convenient as a stop on the way to Seal Bay, which is another two kilometres along the coast. In fact, if you make it all the way out to this area, you've probably committed to spending the whole day here, so it might make a good place to have a packed lunch.

While you're occupying your time at the beach, keep in mind that fishing is one activity that is not permitted. The restriction is due to the site being part of an Aquatic Reserve that is being used to protect the breeding colony of Australian sea lions in the area. The reserve is itself an extension of the conservation park at Seal Bay. Swimming is allowed however.

Other things to do if you are in the area include seeing a show at the Raptor Domain , which is on the road in, and visiting Little Sahara, where you can ride a toboggan or sandboard down the dunes.
