If its a mix of action adventure and laid-back, fishing village charm you're after, it's hard to go past Lancelin.

This coastal township, just over 100 km north of Perth, hosts a riot of adventure sports, both marine and land based.  But despite these high energy pursuits, Lancelin's pristine shores, sheltered bays, backdropped by the offshore reefs and Lancelin and Edwards Islands, offer one of Australia's most beautiful coastal settings.  With the town's chill-out coastal lifestyle, this makes for a truly relaxing getaway.

Each year in January, Lancelin hosts the prestigious Ledge Point to Lancelin Ocean Classic, which draws enthusiasts from around the world.  Lancelin truly is one of the world's great windsurfing venues.
