Stokes Bay
A hidden beach on the north coast, reached through a narrow passage between boulders. A reef encloses a natural tidal pool, making it safe for wading.
Stokes Bay is on the north coast of Kangaroo Island. After parking, follow the signs through a narrow passage between boulders, where you need to stoop and turn sideways. On the other side, a white sand beach opens up before you. The reef encloses a large natural tidal pool that blocks the waves, making it good for swimming and splashing with children. Outside the pool, the waves are rough, so do not venture past the reef. A café by the car park operates in summer. The drive from Kingscote takes about an hour, and part of the route is unsealed.
