Admirals Arch

(1)
Admirals Arch is a dramatic natural rock formation located within Flinders Chase National Park on Kangaroo Island. Formed by centuries of erosion from wind and waves, the arch frames the Southern Ocean and creates one of the island’s most striking coastal scenes.

The area is popular for sightseeing, photography, and wildlife observation.
