Surfing:
The Bommie is a powerful outer reef break left hander located 700m from the Bommie carpark. The Bommie is not recommended for inexperienced surfers. Can be paddled out to, but its a little sharkie. So for a abit of reassurance you can launch the Leos instead.
Murion Islands: Cranking left hander when the swells up on the South Island. Park the boat up in the channel between the 2 islands, and have this barrelling left all to yourself. Needs at least a 2m swell running for this left to work.
Whale watching
From June to October, humpback whales migrate between their summer breeding grounds and their winter feeding grounds. The waters of the Exmouth Gulf and the West Side are an ideal location to see the humpback whales playing and nursing their new born calves. Its not uncommon for boaters to see whalw sharks.
