Travellers will find an enjoyable break on Company Road, 25km past Dongara. Just off the S-bend on Company Road, you will find Dennis and Sandy manning the pumps to serve you the cheapest petrol on the road and offering the hospitality of their well equipped caravans and chalets at the S-Bend Caravan Park. Fishing is excellent on nearby beaches (check the board in the shop for the daily fishing reports), while surfing can be enjoyed at Flats Rocks, 2km south of S-Bend.

The Following is a extract from "Web Anglers"
The
word was out that the tailor were running in force between Geraldton and
Dongara. Not the jumbos around 4-6kg that the area is famous for, but fish
around a kilo that would be regarded as good ones back down in the metro area.
It gave us an excuse to get up to S-Bend again for around the fourth or fifth
time in not much over a year. It's just such an easy thing to do for a short two
or three-day trip. A pleasant four-hour drive, check into a chalet or in-site
van at the caravan park, unpack and go fishing. It doesn't have some of the
back-to-nature joys of a full-on camping trip, but it's so hassle-free it can
almost be a spur of the moment thing.
There wasn't a whole lot of room left with the five of us and our gear packed
into Thommo's new Discovery, but the air was thick with optimism on the drive
up. Midnight Oil and Bill Lawry - This is Your Life filled in the quiet
stretches, and driving through a couple of ferocious rain squalls just short of
Dongara only served to elevate the excitment among the kids.
