Emu Bay: In the Kangaroo Island region of South Australia
The perfect place to stay and play !
On the north shore of Australia’s stunning Kangaroo Island sits an exquisite bay. The long white curved beach of Emu Bay frames a turquoise sea, lapping in from Backstairs Passage it forms the perfect playground that holiday makers call paradise.
Emu Bay offers fishing, boating and swimming all year in it’s temperate sheltered waters. The beach has a jetty and boat ramp and you can drive along the 4 klms of white sand. Behind this long beach are pristine sand dunes, covered with ground cover vegetation, that are home to many birds and native wildlife, a true natural paradise. Low hills at the western end of the beach provide the perfect view over the bay. Imagine the morning sun on your face as it rises from the ocean to colour the bay during the day, then sinks behind you at dusk to splash the night sky with stars.
