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.
