Emu Bay
A 5 km white sand beach about 20 minutes north of Kingscote, with calm waters that are good for swimming. Vehicles can drive onto the sand.
Emu Bay is on the north coast of Kangaroo Island, about 18 km from Kingscote. It has roughly 5 km of white sand and clear, calm water, making it one of the island's best beaches for swimming and sunbathing. Some sections allow 4WD vehicles to drive onto the sand, and locals often fish and picnic here. A jetty and a lookout stand on the east side of the bay. Summer weekends are busy, but at other times you may have the beach almost to yourself.
