Overview

<![CDATA[Peaceful Bay is a kitesurfing spot located on the south coast of Western Australia, between Denmark and Walpole. As its name suggests, this bay offers relatively calm and sheltered conditions compared to the exposed ocean beaches in the area. Prevailing south to southwest winds blow over this partially sheltered bay. Conditions are more accessible than on exposed beaches, suited to intermediate riders. The natural setting is magnificent with karri forests reaching down to the beach. Peaceful Bay is a small hamlet with very limited services. Parking is available. Watch out for rocks and currents at the bay entrance.]]>
