Cape Jervis 

Cape Jervis is at the southwestern tip of the Fleurieu Peninsula, approximately 108 km south of Adelaide. The small town is fenced in by the rugged coastline and surrounding cliffs, great for exploring.

Most people come to Cape Jervis to have a fish and catch the ferry across to the nearby Kangaroo Island. Matthew Flinders named the town after John Jervis, the British First Lord of the Admiralty in 1802.

Cape Jervis is the jumping off point for daily car and passenger ferry services to Kangaroo Island. It's a 45 minute journey that reveals the spectacular coastline of this part of the Fleurieu Peninsula and is definitely a refreshing alternative to catching a bus).

This is a popular base for fishermen, with good boat, jetty and beach fishing. Climb aboard a fishing charter or take a cruise along the coast. Bushwalkers can stretch their legs through nearby Deep Creek Conservation Park or start out on the four day Heysen Trail walk to Victor Harbour and enjoy the spectacular views over Backstairs Passage and Kangaroo Island.

Cape Jervis is on Tourist Route 52 and part of the Fleurieu Way Tourist Drive for Kangaroo Island daily, (a refreshing alternative to catching a bus).
