The estuary offers calmer waters for intermediates, while the ocean coast features powerful waves for advanced riders. The Margaret River region is famous for its vineyards, craft breweries, and gastronomy. Access is from Margaret River. Parking is available. Watch out for currents at the river mouth and rocks. Respect surfers on the waves.]]>
