Location Map
Including Antechamber Bay, Brown’s Beach & Baudin Beach & Penneshaw
Situated on the northeast coast of the Island, Penneshaw is a pretty beachside village. It is a welcome for visitors arriving via the ferry service. With a commanding view of the mainland, just 18km across Backstairs Passage, Penneshaw is the second largest community centre on KI (behind Kingscote. Visitors enjoy a wide selection of accommodation in Penneshaw or one of the surrounding bays. Safe swimming Beaches are in Penneshaw and Brown’s Beach.
Penneshaw is well serviced with restaurants, cafes, cellar doors and the newly renovated Penneshaw Hotel. The new IGA Supermarket and bottle shops are very well stocked and have a great selection of goods. Tourism KI is situated in Penneshaw – maps and more info available here.
Recently upgraded, Christmas Cove has been a haven for small boats for over 150 years. The Hog Bay Jetty is good little fishing spot as well. Tommy ruff, trevally, snook, King George whiting and salmon can be caught in peaceful, picturesque surroundings. Penneshaw is home to a colony of Little Penguins. Tours are conducted nightly from the Penguin Interpretive Centre.
Summary:
Has more of a ‘holiday feel’ to it than Kingscote which has the ‘locals feel’ to it. Three levels of cute holiday homes overlook the harbour where the Ferry docks. Convenient base to explore the island.
