Accessible via a dirt road off Hog’s Bay Road on Kangaroo Island’s southeast coast, Pennington Bay remains a secluded and undeveloped stretch of coastline, with just one lone vacation rental. The crescent-shaped beach is a favorite among surfers, who are drawn to its consistent swells. Visitors can also enjoy fishing, or try their luck at spotting whales and dolphins in the bay. The unspoiled, natural setting offers a tranquil escape, perfect for those seeking a peaceful day by the sea.
