It\u2019s a great place for kids or for taking a long walk spotting SA\u2019s marine life. Make sure to go when the tide\u2019s low so that the local sea stars, crabs, fish and urchins are even more visible.

You can drive and drive for hours and the glorious beaches don\u2019t seem to come to an end. The Kangaroo Island Look-out has rock pools where you can, obviously, see Kangaroo Island across the water. The area has hiking trails too to Marion Bay where the coast and rocks continue. Keep your eyes peeled and you\u2019ll easily find the nature\u2019s pools to bathe in.
