| Yallingup Surf Main Break | |
World famous Main Break is a very consistent wave that breaks left and right, and can hold a good wave in almost any swell and conditions, including onshore winds.
There are excellent viewing platforms and grassy areas up high that afford visitors views over the break. At any time of the day surfers will be out there, riding surfboards and bodyboards; pick a spot, sit back and watch the action as set after set, the waves roll in.
Other popular surf breaks in this part of the Margaret River area include Three Bears, The Farm, Gallows, Smiths Beach and Boneyards.
Nearby, explore Yallingup Ngilgis Cave and visit the elegant art nouveau Caves House Hotel originally built 1901 to accommodate visitors to the cave, and quickly taken up by the Perth A list of the day as the place to honeymoon.
