Head to Vivonne Bay park your car at the main beach, walk onto the beach and you'll see many breaks. I wont tell you the best ones you can find them yourself...

Located on south coast of Kangaroo Island not to far from the Little Sahara Desert, once won the best beach in Australia award the waters look perfect exept there's a lot of sharks. seal bay is around the corner from it and also a Great White breeding ground aswel so not a good idea to be out there the whole day, I stayed out for 6 hours for two days in a row but never saw a shark but they had have to had been there. I do advise you go there though one of the best beaches i've seen even if you don't wanna go out for a surf, just a hell fun beach
