Settlers Beach
Settlers Beach is a 30min drive North of Karratha. It works best in winter on a North/North East or North Easterly wind.
Settlers Beach has a large tidal range, if you kite there on a medium tide you can find some beautiful flat lagoons, at low tide there is a walk out to the water but once you get there you will have a flat water kite spot to yourself. On a high outgoing tide there are some small waves that form around the point.
It's a deep water spot a high tide and a shallow water spot at low tide.
If you are up for a walk or have a reliable 4WD you will find a flat water river mouth down the beach.
