Young or young at heart, active or passive, the charm of the north will soon take you over. No wonder so many people spend the entire winter here. Winters are sunny and warm. Extreme heat in summer is rare. Southerly sea breezes cool the coast between November and March - providing ideal conditions for surfing and windsurfing.
Fishing is the biggest recreational attraction.
There are numerous places along the coast to catch a wide variety of top table fish. Fishing isn't the only aquatic attraction on the coast. The water temperature of the Indian Ocean is warmer than southern waters - swimming and snorkelling are popular all year. The sheltered waters of Shark Bay and Ningaloo Reef provide a safe environment for small boats. For those with a yearning towards outback adventure, there is much to see and do 'off the beaten track'.
