CAPE WILLOUGHBY
has South Australia's first lighthouse, built in 1852. The observation platform at the top presents perfect views of the "Backstairs Passage", "The Pages" Islands, Cape St. Alban's Lighthouse and the Cape Jervis and Deep Creek Conservation Park. Nearby Windmill Beach is worth a visit.

PENNINGTON BAY
is one of the most beautiful bays on the Island. It forms part of the Flinders Isthmus, only hundreds of metres wide, which connects Dudley Peninsula to the main part of the Island. This bay is a regular surf-fishing spot and also a popular surfing destination.
