Summary
Weather for Penneshaw

Small Cornish style town overlooking the South Australian mainland. It is situated on the north east coast of Dudley Peninsula, and is the closest Kangaroo Island point to the mainland (16km).

This area of the island has many unique features, not seen by those who are on short itineraries. A day can be easily taken to enjoy the area to the fullest. Before commencing on this tour ascertain the Cape Willoughby Light station tour times, which are available from the Visitor Information Centre.

No visit to Penneshaw is complete without seeing the little penguins, which make their nests in the sand hills and rock faces around the township. The only species of penguin to breed in Australian waters, wait until dusk before coming ashore. Guided tours are conducted each night after sunset when the penguins return to their burrows, after fishing at sea.
