Kingscote is the Island's capital and a bright, bustling town of about 1,800 people. It is the centre of trade and commerce with banks, extensive shopping and services. A comprehensive guide to the attractions, activities and interesting walks is available from the Information Centre, shops and accommodation houses. The delightful Little Penguins have established themselves in the sandstone and clay cliffs in front of the town. Guided by KI Marine Centre, tours are conducted after dusk to see the penguins returning from their day's fishing.
Attractions include Island the 5pm 'feeding of the pelicans' Bee Hive honey showcase, Ferguson Australia's Lobster and seafood outlet, Island Pure Sheep Dairy, Bay of Shoals cellar door, Hope Cottage Museum and Kangaroo Island Gallery. The jetty nearly always yields a feed of fish for the keen and patient angler. Tommy ruff, garfish, King George whiting and snook are the most commonly caught varieties.
