Penguin Island (South Australia)
Penguin Island is an island located in Rivoli Bay on the south east coast of South Australia approximately south of Beachport. From 1878 to 1960, it was the site of an operating lighthouse. Since at least 1972, it has been part of the Penguin Island Conservation Park.
==Description==
Penguin Island is located about south of Beachport and about south-east of the headland known as Cape Martin.〔DMH, 1985, chart 3.〕 The island consists of two outcrops which are reported as being unofficially known as Outer Penguin Island and Inner Penguin Island. The latter outcrop came into existence in 1968 when a storm caused the collapse of a section of Cape Martin thereby creating a channel of about in width between the remains of the headland and an isolated stack of remnant cliff now known as Inner Penguin Island.〔 Both outcrops are surrounded by vertical cliffs that rise to between to in height above sea level, with exception to the south-western end of the outer island where the ground falls steeply to a rocky spit. A wave cut platform surrounds most of the island. The major outcrop along with minor outcrops and submerged strata form an island which is about long and up to wide. The island is partially covered with sand which itself has partially developed in a soil.〔〔〔 The inner island was reported in 1994 as being accessible by foot at low water while the outer island was only be accessed by boat or by swimming.〔
