Jakes Point
Jacques Point (better known as Jakes by the locals) is a popular surfing beach in Kalbarri providing a perfect left-hand surf break along the point. Recognised as a National Surfing Reserve and one of the state's most famous remote surfing breaks. Jakes is one of those unique waves that is mastered best by the local surfers. Like most reefs, Jakes breaks from two foot and up and is best ridden by experienced surfers only.
Jakes Bay offers a safer option for the novice while fostering a protective environment for the next generation of talent. Kalbarri has a very strong sense of surfing community where locals take their surfing and protection of the fragile environment seriously.
You’ll also notice something a bit peculiar about the colour of the sand here. Due to naturally occurring garnet crystals, the beach takes on a pink hue most of the year round. These weathered mineral deposits wash up creating the unusually pink-hued beach. As a naturally occurring phenomenon, the beach will vary in its coloured hues and intensity.
Take a walk along the path above the beach to explore more of the coastline and keep an eye on the water for the bottlenose dolphins that are frequently seen playing in the water off the shore. After a day of surfing, settle back on the sand to enjoy the famous Western Australian sunset over the horizon.
Jacques Point is a short drive south of Kalbarri and 6.5-hour drive north of Perth. Kalbarri offers a fantastic range of natural attractions including the Murchison River and nearby Kalbarri National Park. It offers spectacular gorges, various water activities for all ages and perfect fishing opportunities that can be enjoyed year-round.
