Kite Spot Urangan Pier - Australia

Spot added: 26.03.2009: 03:34 AM / Hits: 595

Description

Beach is clean and free of junk. Virtually no shells/rocks. On lower tides there's miles of room to launch and land. On the highest tides, there's no room at all. That's when you go around the corner to Neptunes Aquarium beach. At the pier, there is a sand bar a couple of hundred metres (not sure exactly how far) offshore, which is exposed when the tide is lower. Normally (on a SE) you kite from the beach to the bar and back again. There is an emergency ladder on the pier which is accessible from this sand bar if required (broken kite or line etc).

How to go there

From Hervey Bay Airport, travel straight into Hervey Bay on Booral Road (which becomes Elizabeth Street) until you get to the Esplanade. Turn right and you're there! If you're not coming from the airport (ie you're already in Hervey Bay), just follow the Esplanade to Urangan.....you can't miss the pier.....it's huge!
