About this park

To a small bird, the shadow cast by a kite looks like a predator. Kitesurfers and windsurfers should therefore avoid entering the waters surrounding Pelican Point, which are shown by in-water markers.

Pelican Point is a popular area in summer. It has plenty of grassy areas with showers, toilets and a mobile snack facility close by.

Safety information

Plan when to visit. Consider travelling with a personal location beacon (PLB). In the event you need to be rescued it could save your life!
