Latest reviews on Kangaroo island's beaches

Stokes Bay Beach
10 Daniel R. Chen

This beach is one of the best ones out there. The beach area in front of the rocks is great for kids, but be cautious of the rip just beyond it. It's a shame we couldn't spend more time relaxing here.

There are few offers for accommodation in the beach area, so finding a suitable place to stay can be a problem. You can use the map search to get more information about this.

The hottest month of the island is January - air temperature during this time warms up to 23.1°C and water up to 19.8°C in February. The coldest month is August - air temperature drops to 14°C and water to 14.6°C.
