Overview

Sea Shells Groin is a kitesurfing spot located in Mandurah, south of Perth, in Western Australia. This spot is near the rocky groyne that protects a section of the beach, creating varied conditions. The prevailing south to southwest winds blow side-shore. The rocky groyne creates a more sheltered area on one side. The spot is suitable for intermediate riders. Summer sea breezes are regular. Mandurah is a town with many amenities. Parking is available. Beware of the rocky groyne which is a fixed obstacle and the currents around it.
