Graveyards Beach
Graveyards is the wave-riding companion to Sandy Bay on Exmouth's Ningaloo coast, a reef break inside Cape Range National Park favoured by advanced and expert kiters. A short 2WD-friendly dirt track links it to nearby caravan parks, but the shallow reef and rocky bottom demand respect.
