Overview

Sandy Bay is a kitesurfing spot located near Coral Bay, in Western Australia. Coral Bay is a small tourist village on the Ningaloo Reef, offering direct access to one of the most beautiful coral reefs in the world. The water is protected by the reef, creating a spectacular turquoise lagoon. The prevailing winds follow the southeast trade wind pattern during the dry season. The lagoon protected by the reef offers flat and warm water, suitable for all levels. The waters are crystal clear with exceptional visibility. Coral Bay has accommodation and tourist services. Watch out for coral, turtles and marine life. Strictly respect the marine park protection zones. Do not touch the coral.
