Kite surfing at Geraldton
We stopped at several of the small towns (resort towns really from what we could see) along the way looking for the good swimming and snorkeling spots described in our guidebook. We really didn’t find anywhere, especially since the onshore wind was very strong today, so the ocean was rough. There are a lot of very white sand dunes along the Indian Ocean Road, drifts of limestone sand.
We reached Geraldton by noon and checked in to the caravan park. In mid-afternoon we tried to go body boarding at the beach, but the surf was too rough. It broke hard into the sand, so that when I tried using the board I got sand all through my swimming trunks. After that I decided to quit trying. Enid was smarter and never tried at all.
