Suburb of Kangaroo Island Council, South Australia
Stokes Bay is a locality in the Australian state of South Australia located on the north coast of Kangaroo Island overlooking Investigator Strait about 162 kilometres (101 miles) south-west of the state capital of Adelaide.[1][3] Its boundaries were created in March 2002 for the “long established name” and includes the Stokes Bay Shack Site.[1] Land use in the locality is principally for agricultural purposes with activity limited on the coastline to the north for conservation purposes. A settlement also occupies land immediately adjoining the bay of the same name.[8] Stokes Bay is located within the federal division of Mayo, the state electoral district of Mawson and the local government area of the Kangaroo Island Council.[6][5][1]
