Jakes Point - Jacques Point - Kalbarri

Jacques (pronounced Jakes by the locals) Point is just south of Kalbarri along George Grey Drive. The point is a flat rocky outcrop where you can park and watch the surfing action on the beach below. We saw surfers being towed into the break with a jet ski and catching some great waves. Apparently this place is well known for a superb reef break and is best suited to experienced surfers. Jacques (Jakes) Bay is located nearby and has safer waves for the less experienced.

This must be a very popular place in the mornings as a sign advertising a coffee van visiting each day (except Monday) was placed alongside the car parking area. They even have a row of deck chairs set up along the fence line - I am sure these belong to locals who come regularly to watch the surfing action.

There are amazing rock formations along the shore and a track leading from here to Red Bluff Lookout - these trail is very steep and about 1.7 kilometres return.
