Shark Bay
Where the kitesurfers ride. Worth an afternoon just to sit and watch the lagoon fill with kites.
Open always
Afternoons, when the wind fills in
The last beach before the national park gate
About this
The last beach before the national park gate, and the one the kitesurfers make for when the southeaster comes up. You don't have to ride to enjoy it — an afternoon watching thirty kites work the flat water is a spectacle in itself, and it is free. If it makes you want a go, Obsession Kiting teaches beginners. Take a windbreak: the same wind that makes the sport possible makes sitting on the sand a committed act.
How to join
Nothing to book — free to walk on any day
Times shift with the seasons and the wind. Always double-check directly before heading out, and know your own limits — especially in open water.
