Emu Bay Beach — Attraction in Emu Bay

Absolutely stunning and wonderfully tranquil. Emu Bay is one of those hidden gems where you can truly unwind. We took a drive right along the beach — and it was such a peaceful experience. The beach was quiet, with soft white sand and crystal-clear water stretching endlessly.

To top it all off, we were lucky enough to spot dolphins playing just offshore — an unforgettable moment that made the visit even more special. Perfect for a stroll, a beach picnic, or simply soaking in the beauty of Kangaroo Island’s coastline. Picture-perfect...

Wouldn't recommend walking from the playground/town - Loads of seaweed piled on the town-end of the beach, and sand is hard as a rock to sit on (pretty compacted due to being driven on).

However, if you drive down onto the beach (suitable for a regular sedan) and go about 1km down the beach, it gets a lot nicer. The hard sand makes it good for a long walk or run, or running the dogs (there are lots of dogs around off-leash).

Water still pretty icy on a 22⁰C day, but...

Pleasant beach notwithstanding the strange cultural practice the locals have of driving their cars all over the beach. Sacrilege! The irony is there is a sign as you enter warning about watching out for the hooded plover which lays its eggs in the sand - yet hoons drive about all over the place. Hopefully, the influx of tourism will bring some common sense and a more enjoyable experience for all…. Think...
