Wind Stats for Gnaraloo Kiteboarding

Around the Kiteboarding Spot Gnaraloo

If you're not out kiting, Gnaraloo's still got plenty going on. You can go for a chilled walk along the beach—it’s super quiet and feels like you’ve got the whole coastline to yourself. The sunsets are pretty epic, and at night the stars are insane since there's no city light around. Snorkeling is really good too, especially near the reef where you’ll see all kinds of colorful fish and coral. It’s also just a great place to totally switch off, read a book, watch the waves, maybe spot a few kangaroos wandering by. It’s the kind of place where you don’t need much to have a good time.
