Denham
Netta's Beach is a spot located right across from the town of Denham, in Shark Bay. It is a narrow beach bordered by the road, ideal for a quick session without too much travel. Locals appreciate it for its easy access and calm water at the edge.
The beach faces the Indian Ocean, with a typical landscape of the western Australian coastal desert: white sand and crystal clear waters. There are few facilities, but it's perfect for combining kitesurfing and family relaxation or a stroll.
The spot remains little known to international kiters, but it offers an authentic setting in the heart of this isolated region.

Location
Detailed information
The Netta's Beach spot offers easy access directly from the narrow beach, but care should be taken not to leave the kite too close to the road that runs along the edge. The navigation area extends in front of the beach, with a generally calm and flat water state near the shore thanks to the natural protection of Shark Bay. Side-shore winds from the south or southwest are the most effective, pushing riders out to sea without the risk of drifting towards land. The launch area is limited to the beach itself, so anticipate road obstacles for launching. According to a local rider, be cautious when the kite is low near the road. Tides have little influence on the spot, but at low tide, the water remains shallow near the shore, favoring a flat to light chop water state. At high tide, the area opens up a bit more. Notably, the spot works well in moderate conditions, with good visibility to spot stingrays in the shallow water.
