Off the beaten track
Geraldton is a sun-drenched coastal city on Western Australia's Coral Coast, about 420 km north of Perth. With a population of around 35,000, it is the largest city between Perth and Broome and serves as the gateway to the spectacular Abrolhos Islands. Geraldton is renowned as one of Australia's premier kitesurfing and windsurfing destinations — powerful, consistent sea breezes from October to April have earned it a reputation as the wind sports capital of WA. Beyond the water sports, backpackers are drawn here for the stunning coastline, regional work opportunities, and as a stopover on the epic Perth-to-north road trip.
