Munglinup Beach

by in Trip, Western Australia

Now we’re not too far from the ocean again, it feels only right to check out the beach. The coast here has many rocky parts, National Parks and sandy access roads (4WD only). So we decide on Manglinup that ticks all the boxes for us.
About 20 km bitumen of the main highway plus 8 km of dirt road is acceptable. The dirt road is not nicely graded so the 8 km of corrugation takes about half an hour at snail’s pace.

Then the last turn until we come to a surprisingly nice beach.

Despite the howling wind strength, the wind direction and the flat stretch of water is too hard to resist. Walking with the 12 meter kite in this wind is a bit hard but once in the water the kiting is exhilarating and exhausting.

Some think that beaches are also for things like walking and exploring and have pictures as proof.

Then back at the campsite.

We all have a few almond nuts.

And then when the sun goes down it gets a bit chilly.

But the wait is well worth the result.
