Take-off description
After over 30 years of use, in 2018 a licence was approved for a formal launch site. Takeoff is a clear astroturfed area at the top of the dunes. Take care not to damage the dune vegetation in the area. This is a public beach so watch out for spectators. There is potential for long flights to the north, possibly linking sites at Pippidinny road and Yanchep/Two Rocks in the right conditions. City of Wanneroo is to be informed before each days flying. Details are on the sign, on site.
Getting there
This site is subject to conditions issued by the City of Wanneroo which may be terminated at any time. The Dog Beach further to the south, which has good lift over higher dunes, is primarily a legislated dog walking beach - and as such has priority over paragliders. Complaints to the council about pilots making a nuisance or close calls could result either cancellation or non-renewal of the agreement.
