Perth Kiteboarding Travel Tips

By Matt Link
  • Kiteboarders take advantage of the southwesterly "Fremantle Doctor" afternoon winds in the summer that can reach up to 20 knots. They blow along the southern half of Australia's west coast.
  • At Shoalwater in Safety Bay, about a half-hour from downtown Perth, there's a great kiteboarding school called West Oz Kiteboarding.
  • Popular kiteboarding spots near Perth include Melville Beach, with a large protected shallow bay and long narrow beach; Safety Bay, with a gently sloping sand spit; and Cottesloe, with a shallow reef.

Beach Overview: Perth, Australia

By Matt Link
Said to be one of the remotest cities in the world and closer to Singapore than to Sydney, Western Australia's Perth is both urbane and mellow. With a population of 1.5 million (over three-quarters of Western Australia's inhabitants) and built on mineral wealth, the city enjoys a perfect setting along the Swan River and Indian Ocean. Emphasis is on the outdoors in this area, with a coastline of excellent beaches in an almost continuous line from Cottesloe in the south to Quinns Rocks in the north, including a popular section called the Sunset Coast. The temperate year-round Mediterranean climate means plenty of beach days, and Perth is said to enjoy more hours of sunshine than any other major Australian city. Read More
