Penneshaw &

Dudley Peninsula

Looking across Backstairs Passage to the

Fleurieu Peninsula, Penneshaw (population

300), on the north shore of the Dudley Pe-

ninsula, is the ferry arrival point. The pass-

ing tourist trade lends a certain transience

to the businesses here, but the pub, hostel

and general store remain authentically

grounded. As do the resident little penguins.

En route to American River, Pennington Bay

has consistent surf.
