Introduction

Stokes Bay lies on the north coast of Kangaroo Island, about 40 minutes' drive from Kingscote. The bay is enclosed by huge rock formations that form a natural seawater pool, sheltered from the pounding waves of the Southern Ocean, with clear, calm water. You reach the hidden beach and rock pools through a path that winds between the rocks. A number of rock pools of varying depth are ideal for children to play, swim and snorkel.
