Hi all,

Looking at heading down to Safety Bay for a kite this weekend with a mate.

Going to steer clear of "The Pond" so was looking for advice as to other spots down there.

Was thinking about the area where WestOz do their lessons.

Is that open to everyone or just the school.

cheers

stay well clear of Penguin Island - there are bird nesting areas that DEC hope/expect kiters will avoid - check these areas here;

Keep your eye out for people crossing the sandbar and give assistance if there in trouble.The livesavers leave after the last boat but not all catch it !

Was there yesterday, plenty of room. As the advice says, kite downwind of the school near the jetty. Getting set to head down again in a cuppla hours. Its my fave spot, just due to how much traffic there is at the pond.
