Yallingup

Cape Naturaliste, Australia
🪨Rocks🪸Sharp reef👥Crowded

Yallingup is a protected reef break on the Cape Naturaliste peninsula that offers a more forgiving alternative to the heavy slabs further south. The right-hand wave breaks in a picturesque bay surrounded by granite headlands and pristine bushland. When massive swells hammer the Margaret River region, Yallingup provides a safe haven with smaller, more manageable waves. The wave suits intermediate to advanced surfers with its long walls and occasional tube sections. Indigenous Noongar people have lived on this coast for over 50,000 years, and the area retains a spiritual quality.
