About the spot

Druridge Bay offers a long sandy coast where kitesurfing must coexist with swimmers and walkers. The council publishes voluntary guidance: avoid high tide and crowded sections of beach.

The map point identifies the northern bay near the country park, not an approved launch position. Marked beach access points have explicit exclusion distances.
