Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Stunning bay and beautiful beaches to explore. Clear blue water. Great views along coastline from the car park up on the cliffs. Easy walk onto beach - several bays to explore and rocks to climb (the children enjoyed climbing the rocks).
Would like to come back with fishing rods, a picnic and snorkel… good spot for surfing too. There’s toilet facilities too. A good spot for sure. We were there in winter - apparently there’s a great coffee van that resides here in other seasons.

This is one of the most beautiful beaches on kangaroo island 🏝 We parked the car and then walked down the stairs to the beach. We walked along the beach for quite awhile and climbed over the ridge past the bend. It’s easy to spend a couple of hours here.

A really good sized surf beach with something for everyone. A good swell & break and lots of open sand for sunbaking & swimming with plenty doing exactly that on our visit. Another spectacular stretch of coast to enjoy on Kangaroo Island.

Yet another stunning seascape. Beautiful waters and coastline and lovely to see so many pelicans in their natural habitat.

Pennington Bay is worth a trip if you're in American River. Beautiful views. There is a public toilet that is well maintained if needed.

Another stunning Kangaroo Island Beach. There is a lovely rock pool to the left of the main beach - access from the top before you get to the main parking area. Sometimes there is a coffee van here - tops off the experience. Definitely worth a visit.

Hello. I'll be bike packing thru this area soon. Is there somewhere I can fill up my water bottles? TIA
Written 18 February 2020
I don't think there would be anywhere to fill up at Pennington Bay, you would need to get supplies before you leave Penneshaw. You could try calling into Sunset Winery. Maybe give them a call before you go.
