South Australia – Tiddy Widdy Beach

Welcome to Tiddy Widdy — yep, it’s a real name, and yep, it’s kiteable. Just north of Ardrossan on the Yorke Peninsula, this spot serves up shallow flats stretching out forever on the right tide. It’s tidal heaven for twin tippers and foilers alike, with wind angles from S to SE working best — cross to cross-on from the right.

On a big tide you’ll have glassy sections between the sandbanks, and if you time it with an afternoon seabreeze, it’s a smooth, easy session. Perfect for cruising, boosting, or just blowing out the cobwebs with wide open space in every direction.

Launch straight from the grassy verge beside the beach — no fuss, no crowds. Just check your tide tables, because below 1.5m you might be walking half a k with your kite over your shoulder.
