Surfers Point, Prevelly
As dawn breaks, the cool grey tones of the beach warm to a golden hue. Dozens of surfers are already out in the water, bobbing up and down with the growing swell. They’ve paddled out from a perfect sandy crescent backed by forested hills; beyond, the land is ribbed with neat rows of grapevines.
This is Prevelly Beach in the Margaret River region of Western Australia, and the scene encompasses this area’s twin passions: its curling surf and delectable wines. Famously, some of the top local winemakers will begin the day catching waves in the morning sun before heading to the vineyards.
