The area is known for its natural beauty, with the Southern Ocean providing a stunning backdrop. Nanarup Beach offers both left and right waves, making it a versatile spot for surfers of all levels. The beach features a sandy bottom, and the best surfing conditions are typically found at low to medium tide. The waves here are of normal quality and have a regular frequency, with a length of less than 50 meters. Surfers can expect a relatively uncrowded experience, with only a few surfers typically present.

Parking is available at the river mouth for those with a 2WD, while 4×4 vehicles can drive further along the beach. The nearby ‘deserts’ area is known for its consistent banks, and the point break can be quite rewarding when conditions align.

It’s important to respect the locals and check your skills before paddling out to make sure the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. The surrounding area includes the Gull Rock National Park to the west and the Two Peoples Bay Nature Reserve to the east, with Taylor Inlet and Nanarup Beach nestled in between. The locality is on the traditional land of the Minang people of the Noongar nation.
