Western Australia – Cervantes

Welcome to Cervantes — that quiet crayfishing town north of Perth where the wind turns on, the crowds don’t, and the coastline feels like it was made for you and your kite.

The main beach rolls out long and open, with steady SW seabreezes blowing cross-on all summer. It’s not polished — there’s seagrass, soft sand, and a working jetty nearby — but that’s part of the charm. You’ll often have it to yourself, especially midweek.

Thirsty Point is the go-to for mellow sessions. Shallow bay, sandy bottom, and clean wind funnelling through in the afternoons. Perfect for freeride, foiling, or just cruising. Want a little more punch? Head further up to Hansen Bay, where there’s more space, slightly bigger swell, and reef patches to keep things spicy. South end is flatter, north end builds some push if there’s swell in the mix.

It’s not a high-performance trick park — more of a laid-back coast-runner's dream. Reliable wind, easy launch, no fuss.

No major facilities on the beach, but you’ve got town right there — pub meals, a bakery, and fresh cray if you’re lucky. And if the wind doesn’t show? Go explore the Pinnacles or grab a snorkel and check out the seagrass beds.

Cervantes won’t scream for your attention — but if you listen, it’ll give you clean air, open water, and the kind of sessions that reset the whole system.
