You're spoilt for choice when it comes to beaches on Kangaroo Island. Boasting more than 500 kilometres of coastline, you'll find everything from the whitest of white sandy beaches to awesome surf breaks.
Finding a great beach on Kangaroo Island is as easy as making your way over - whether you're flying or arriving by ferry. From sandy swimming beaches to top surf spots, roll out your towel at five of our favourite beaches on Kangaroo Island, guaranteed to leave you spellbound.
1. Stokes Bay
This little gem of a spot is Stokes Bay and is officially the best beach in Australia - according to Tourism Australia. After pulling up in the carpark, you'll weave through a little labyrinth of caves before emerging onto some of the whitest sand and clearest water in Australia. On Kangaroo Island, it's easy to jump from one picture-perfect cove to the next without running into anyone. If you're lucky, you might even get the entire beach to yourself!
2. Vivonne Bay
Vivonne Bay was once voted as Australia's best beach. This six-kilometre-long U-shaped bay is postcard-perfect. Here, white sandy shores meet gently lapping waves, perfect for wading waist deep. With a jetty framing the south-end and distant dunes in the north, it's a great excuse to slip away for the day without another soul in sight.
3. Emu Bay
The best way to describe the long, white sandy beach of Emu Bay is simply beautiful. This gorgeous stretch of sand and surf is protected from the elements; if it's windy in Kingscote, just slide around to Emu Bay, finding conditions calm, clear and gorgeous. No need to worry about parking either, as you can drive on the beach then immediately plonk yourself on the sand.
4. Snellings Beach
