Bay of Shoals is a locality in South Australia located on the north coast of Kangaroo Island overlooking the Bay of Shoals about 121 kilometres (75 mi)* south-west of the Adelaide city centre and about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi)* north of the Kingscote.[1][3] Its boundaries were created in March 2002 for the “long established name” which was derived from the adjoining bay.[1] The locality occupies land on the western shore line of the Bay of Shoals. The principal land use is agriculture while a strip of land along the coastline is zoned for conservation in order to “enhance and conserve the natural features of the coast.”[7] Bay of Shoals is located within the federal division of Mayo, the state electoral district of Finniss and the local government area of the Kangaroo Island Council.[5][4][1]
