Kiteboarding in Western Australia – Your full Roadtrip Tourgide featuring 44 Spots and all necessary information your are seeking for this adventure

Woodman Point

Very beautiful beach. Look at wind direction which side you want to use. In Jervoise Bay  you get Kitesurfing Lessons from Perth Elemental School . You see the picture with the spot rules. Jervois Bay is mainly reserved for the school. Else is open for public kiting. In the very north there is also a prohibited zone.

Point Walter @ Swan River

Nice spot at east in city center. Which makes it special is that it’s so centered in the city. Basically there is little space so I guess at primetime it may get crowded.

Mosman Beach near Vlamingh Parklands

Big – nice – too.

Scarborough & Trigg Beach

Didn’t get pictures of these but as far as I could find out they are quite similar to Mullalloo or e.g. Pinnaroo Point. Be careful, currents are strong and sands are moving. So follow the locals. These kind of beaches you can find a lot in Perth.

Pinnaroo Point

A beautiful beach like Mullalloo.

Mullalloo Beach

This is a beautiful big beach. See signs where launching and riding is ok and where the place is for swimmers. On photos it’s rainy, please send kite pics if you have better ones from that spot (office@welovetokite.com).  Should be normally choppy as there is no reef or something.

Ledge Point, Lancelin and then till Wedge Island

Regarding Camping in this reagion I recommend the caravan park directly in Lancelin. I stayed there. In Lancelin in the evening go to the Endeavour Tavern to have dinner.

Ledge Point

There is one spot in Ledge Point. Unfortunately here on the pics it was raining again.

Lancelin Main Beach

This is the famous Lancelin Beach. Also the Lancelin Classics Kiteboarding Events is here. Super flat on one side.

Lancelin Back Beach

Second Spot in Lancelin. Nice and more waves. Unfortunately rainy on the pics again. Sorry for that :) Have better pics? Please send me: office@welovetokite.com

Wedge Island

Wedge Island is north of Lancelin, south of Namburg National park. I was not able to go there as you need 4wd and if it’s raining as it was for me … So I didn’t go but I took a pic of the sign :) I guess it’s also possible to walk in and have a look. I made a screenshot from Google Maps Satellite as the place looks so awesome – next time I want to check it out – maybe you can :)

Let’s continue: Namburg, Cervantes, Jurien Bay & Green Head

There is a Camping in Jurien Bay but I didn’t like it so much. Go for the Milligan island camping area. It’s a bit off the beaten track but directly at the beach and I liked it. It was 15$ a night.

I didn’t find kiteschools or shops in that region.

Namburg National Park: Hangover Bay

Very nice Bay with cool Parking with pit latrine. Turquoise Bay. Nice with south winds.

Cervantes: Thirsty Point Lookout

You have good parking and there is a nice lookout where you can look over the Bay. You see the view from it over the parking to the sea on the pics. The spot should work well with southerly winds.

Jurien Bay

Good normal Beach again. Sorry for the pics, was rainy again. Have better Pics from kiting here? Please send them to office@welovetokite.com if it’s ok for you to be included here!

Greenhead: Anchorage Bay

Again good kiteable spot with no specials. With almost all spots where I was not able to kite I can not say anything about stones or rocks in the water etc. Best is you ask locals when you are there.

More to the North: Dongara, Geraldton, Bluff Point, Coronation Beach

For Camping I recommend Coronation Beach. It is very cheap and you are directly at the spot – but you don’t have showers and only pit latrines. So bring all you need with you. It’s only a little fee to pay.

The other possibility to camp is between Dongara and Geraldton. There you find 2 free campgrounds. I stayed at flat rocks. There you have a toilette and sweetwater but both are shitty and not what you would call clean etc. :) but at least it’s there and free.

Another Camping is north of Dongara directly at the kitespot. The holiday park there seems ok but when we where there the river was great and therefor also the part of the ocean before the camping. Maybe this was just temporary.

Dongara

In Dongara there are two Spots. One is south beach at the Starfish Cafe. It’s and extremly long white beach with small breaks and I saw some surfers at the south end. There is good parking at Starfish Cafe where you can of course also have a break with food.

The second Spot in Dongara is directly north of the river. When we where there the river was brown and therefor also the ocean before. Most likely because of the lot of rain that time. I guess this was only temporary when I look at Google Maps satellite now. Have better pictures: please send it to me office@welovetokite.com!

Geraldton

Geraldton also has two Spots. One is Seperation Point and the other is the Marine terrace at Point Moore which I would prefer when you are in Geraldton. If you don’t have time to see both go to Point Moore. It’s a huge beach which is great for everything. I would call it the main spot for Geraldton.

I also found a nice coffee place in Geraldton Center. It’s not so common the more you go up north so maybe you want to stop by :)

Bluff Point

At Bluff Point again here are two Spots. One is St. Georges Beach. It’s a city beach with just little place but ok. The second spot is directly at a camping. Actually the Camping is the most beautiful we saw. Really cool and nice as I could kite there. So look for Sunset Beach Camping. The campsite has also a pool so you may rest there a while from your journey. Wind is sideshore at sunset beach. Kiting-fun is medium as there are currents and its choppy. So for kiting e.g. Marine Terrace in Geraldton  is for sure better but together with a sleep at the camping you can go out once but thats probably enough :)

We continue: Port Gregory and Kalbarri

In direction Port Gregory you pass by pink Lakes. You can not miss it and it will be great for some pictures!

Regarding camping I can recommend the Caravan Park in Port Gregory or a Camping at the river in Kalbarri at Murchinson River Caravan Park (I stayed there and it was really picturesque and beautiful). Here you see the Caravan park on two pictures.

Port Gregory

There is a reef in front of Port Gregory which makes it great to ride. So it is a big flat lagoon. There is plenty of space. Unfortunately some boats stand in the middle of the bay but there are not so many, so just kite somewhere else. If you have a 4WD you can go along the beach and go away from the boats. I suggest you start to the very left  so you can easily stay upwind and don’t get in touch with the boats. Or start right from the boats. There is some shadow and a BBQ Place and also toilette and shower. I consider it a really top spot you should visit. Unfortunately both times I was there we had only 12 knots so it was a bit low.

Nanga Bay

Nanga Bay is on the way to Denhamand definitely worth a stop. It is a perfect large beach at the Nanga Bay Resort. You can camp directly at beach with power supply. You have toiletts and showers available if you camp there. Also a little pool. I really liked that camping. Was like a wild wild west Ranch for me! It’s a huge white sandy beach. Also shade is there at the beach. I loved it. The water is choppy and I felt a current to the north. So with little wind, going left you may loose some height.

Denham 4 spots: Denham Lookout, Knight Terrace, Nicholson Point, Shark Bay Little Lagoon

In Denham Area we have four spots.

The first is south of denham. Called Denham Lookout. There you find the famous Thongue shack and have a good view in direction Denham. It should be great to kite but when I was there it was low tide and then the water is very shallow as you can see. You can go there with 2WD altough the beach is a bit sandy. No toilettes or showers are there.

The second is Denham Knight Terrace. It’s at the north tip of Denham. You have a nice parking at the big beach. Toilettes and nice grass to pack the kites is there. Also there is a camping directly at the Spot. It is called Denham Seaside Caravan Park. You can go to the kitebeach directly from the camping and it is a good spot.

So the third spot I mention for Denham is also in the North of Denham called Nicholson Point (At least that’s the sign I saw there. Nothing about that name in Google Maps :) So I call it that way now as long as someone tells me differnetly.). You have to take a sand road. It is ok for 2wd but you can not go to the front of the beach but have to park a bit back – you will see when you are there. Then you need to walk 50m to get to the spot. There is no shade and no Toilettes. With low tide there is only little water in the lagoon. A but upwind you find super flat water at a sandbank. It is quite gusty because of the land over which the wind is coming. So we moved back to Knights terrace because of the gust.

The best spot for me and also the most beautiful was Little Lagoon. Altough it’s also a bit gusty it is a must kite spot with beautiful scenenry. If you kite to the upwindest tip of the lagoon you have butterflat water. As said it is gusty but soooo flat I can not say it often enough :) It was extra beautiful to ride there. At the parking of Little Lagoon you have shade, toilettes but no sweetwater Shower.

Avalon Kite Beach – Mandurah

A beauiful big beach. Litttle breaks on left may get bigger as surfing sign is also on beach. Watch the signs where the surfing area is. Will only work with westerly wind directions, normally most likely a bit offshore.

Australind – Bunbury

Kiting is forbidden here in most areas. I checked the spot as somewhere I saw you can kite here – but there are definit signs it’s not allowed now. But maybe not everywhere. I read some forum entries where they talk about great flat water areas. But what I saw there it seems not allowed for the Lake and the speed-limit zones. Maybe around is a spot. Know one? Please let me know: office@welovetokite.com

Busselton

A big city beach with jetty and lots of place for everything. But as the predominant Wind Direction is S/SW, most of the time it’s offshore. Maybe ok when there is a NW storm.

Dunsborough

Beach looks good, but again with SW it will not work well. With the predominant wind, continue to Yallingup.

Bunker Bay

A really cool beach but maaaaaan, the weather I had was so hmmmmm :) And here again -> Wind Direction check, not kiteable with main direction. But when the weather is nice it’s worth a look as it’s a cool beach with restaurant, toilettes, shower, etc.

Yallingup

It’s a great wave surf spot, lots of surfers there as we are coming nearer and nearer to Margaret River. Huge beach.

Margaret River Rivermouth – forbidden

I also visited this spot as I saw somewhere that it’s kiteable. But when I asked the safeguard at the beach I heard that this beach is for swimmers only and kitesurfing is prohibited (as of Feb 2017).

Margaret River – Surfers Point

This is one of the most famous surf spots in Australia. Margaret River anyways is crowded by wave surfers. It’s a real Surf Mekka. You can also kite at the spot but as far as I could see you should really only do if you are very experienced with wave-kiting. The spot doesn’t look easy. Starting with going out, it seems there’s a little channel in the middle where all paddle out. This is the place to get in and out. If you are out and you can kite in waves I guess it’s awesome.

When I was there, again it was raining. So with wind, best is you ask some locals about the local rules, was not able to find out. Have infos about that for me? Please send to office@welovetokite.com.

Gnarabup at Elephant Cafe

Beach is ok. You see the beach when you look left from surfers point. This beach is also more for surfers I guess but kiteable. Huge beach to the left. Cafe looks also inviting!

Redgate Beach

Beach is also beautful and it seems it has waves for starters as I saw some surfschools teaching here. You should be able to kite with wind but on this beach I would rather try to catch some waves. It looked really inviting.

Augusta Rivermouth Kitesurfing

This place was one of the best spots on my Roadtrip! You really should check it out! The Rivermouth flat are. WOAAAAHH :)

You can kite in the rivermouth which is butterflat or you can choose to ride outside on the ocean which has smaller waves and a little reef. Not so dangerous – some rocks but nothing else special regarding to locals. Inside the rivermouth around in 2014 they opened a channel to the ocean which brings salt water into the rivermouth and makes the water clear as the ocean as it was more brownish before. Now it’s awesomely nice. Riding in the rivermouth, in the part which locals call “Dead water” as the river seems to have no ending, you have the most flat water that I have ever experienced. This river-lagoon is around 2,5km long and with south easterly wind which is the best and predominant direction for this spot you can almost ride straight through. On the edge to the sandbank which devides ocean from the river there is not even a ripple on the water. I have never experienced something like this before and think I only want to ride on such spots  from now on… which makes my life not really easier :)

You can pump up your kite on the main beach which is to the ocean side. There is parking – end then you can ride directly on the seaside or you can go through the channel to the rivermouth. Directly at the mouth is an about 10m wide channel where you can ride through to the lagoon so you don’t  have to walk over a sandbank that is there. You will see when you are there, it’s easy.
Or you can start your kite from the Rivermouth where there is a little grass area with a shower too. But there you have to go into the water to launch, else you will be in the wind shadow – so this should only be done by experienced kiters and when there is little traffic or people on the beach. Else go and start at the mainbeach so the spot stays safe.
