Lancelin (back beach)
Edit SpotAbout
many good surfs had here, and dont forget to go to the endeavour hotel after the surf for a beer and a crayfish. many fun times to be had during the ocean classic windsurfing competition, or head off road with you 4x4 or motor bike in the huge drifting dunes or explore many tracks to further surf/fishing/tourist spots north towards cervantes, including the world famous pinnicle desert!! fun place all round! just take yer rubbish with ya!!!!!!>:-(
Atmosphere:
get in early before the seabreaze which is well known among windsurfers from all round the world. beware of the thieves in the car park!! its a long uncomfortable ride back to perth in your wetty, trust me!!
Additional Info:
fun waves most the time, if perth is good then back beach will be better, definatly worth the drive to get a bit less crowded waves. easier access than the reefs of the area
