Overview

Tangalooma Wrecks is a kitesurf spot located on Moreton Island, off Brisbane, in Queensland. This spot is famous for its sunken ship wrecks that form an artificial breakwater and a popular dive site. The spot works with the southeast trade winds. The wrecks create a sheltered zone on the bay side. Access by ferry from Brisbane. Suitable for intermediate to advanced riders. Be careful not to sail too close to the wrecks. Accommodation at Tangalooma resort.
