The Lookout is 10 kms from Antechamber Bay and Chapman River.

This area has great natural beauty and the extensive sandy beach offers safe swimming. The River is great for fishing and many different bird species can be discovered in its vicinity.

About 10km further east of Antechamber Bay is the eastern extremity of the Island, Cape Willoughby.

South Australia's first lighthouse was built here and daily tours of this historic structure are conducted. Adjacent to the lighthouse is the Cape Willoughby Café which offers great food and spectacular views.

Kangaroo Island has 21 National and Conservation Parks and so there are large areas of pristine wilderness which provide unspoilt habitats for many species of wildlife.

The main attractions are Seal Bay, Admirals Arch and the Remarkable Rocks however there is much more to see on this unique Island. Besides the scenic beauty and fascinating wildlife, Kangaroo Island offers its visitors the opportunity to indulge in some of its rich produce including local cheeses, wines, seafood, marron and honey.
