Caravan Park (Circular Head)

Caravan Park (Circular Head) is a low-profile, northeast-facing bay beach in the Stanley area that’s commonly kited for its calm, sandy, progression-friendly conditions. Water is reported as crystal clear, with typical conditions described as flat water with chop and small-wave character, and an overall medium beach footprint. Wind is most often associated with an NE direction, with best months spanning January, February, March, and also October through December. Reported riding winds are typically in the ~15–25 knot range, with light gustiness noted. In summer, sea-breeze/thermal effects can reinforce the gradient flow and align with a daytime (afternoon) riding window. Tide matters at this spot: at low tide, water can go out a long way to create very flat, safe learning lagoons, but it can also become very shallow over large sandbanks. Near the inlet mouth, strong tidal currents are reported, so riders should consider current timing and launch position carefully. Facilities are fairly limited on the water/sand itself, with riders generally expected to be self-sufficient: equipment rental and local repair services are not reported, and there’s no lifeguard presence. Overall, it’s best approached as a cool-water, self-reliant session spot, most consistent in summer and early autumn.
