Yeah think so, have definatly seen people kite there. Looks ok
Dunno about to city beach tho as you have to kite through the defence playground, which might be upsetting to some.
Great downwinder Swanbourne to Trigg. I'll do it....

I've kited a few times at Swanbourne in front of the clubbies who never gave me any grief. Just don’t venture to far north unless you like being approached by old boys with their half mongrels showing wanting to ask you all about your kite, blahhhh

If the red flags are up don't go North of the nude beach unless you'd like a few 7.62mm or 5.56mm holes in you and your kite - red flags mean the rifle range is live.

Come on, in this day and age the military are surely not firing rounds out to sea. And if they are, what the?

gruezi, it's been a gazzetted range template since the 70's - check your nautical charts - it's actually illegal to enter - the range does face out to sea but the sand dunes are used as a "stop butt" - go ahead if you want to take the chance of a stray or ricochete or just get us banned because they get pissed off
