Apart from being the ferry terminal for the journey to famous Kangaroo Island, which sits offshore from the Fleurieu Peninsula, to the south of Adelaide, Wirrina Cove's beautiful bay is a well-known resort and holiday destination. It offers a good choice of Wirrina Cove hotels, conference centres and other amenities. This region of South Australia is redolent with glorious beaches, rugged cliffs and sheltered coves that are popular with regular weekend and longer-stay visitors from Adelaide and across the country. Unspoilt Kangaroo Island, just a short boat ride away and set at the entrance to Gulf St Vincent, 12kms offshore, is the main attraction. Abundant wildlife and untouched forest are the island's hallmarks, boosted by geological formations such as Admiral's Arch and the Remarkable Rocks as well as spectacular cliffs, bays and beaches. Koalas, kangaroos, wallabies and the spiky echidna are all here, with penguins, fur seals, sea lions and pelicans as well as a plethora of other bird species.
