All About

Emu Bay Beach

Highlights

Emu Bay is one of the most beautiful and popular beaches on Kangaroo Island. The Emu Bay Beach is located just a brief drive west of Kangaroo Island's largest settlement, Kingscote. Its popularity is most likely due to its clear waters, long shoreline, and the fact it is one of the few Kangaroo Island beaches with direct vehicle access.

The unique Emu Bay shale geological formation is another signature landmark, while a small fishing jetty dates back to 1918.
