Does anyone know the best way to access to Lake George near Beachport and if there are any restrictions?

No restrictions.
If you want just flat water then you can enter the lake from opposite the Woakwine cutting turn off. (10 kms from Beachport on the Robe road). Dont drive to far out towards the water, still bit soft this time of year.

If you want to go to the spit then you have to drive into Beachport. turn right at the pub and keep going. Follow the lake around through private property to the spit.(make sure you shut the gate)

Found it. No wind today. But for future reference take insect repellent.

Will be there tomorrow! Pretty sure the wind should take care of the insects ;-)

I saw this beautiful bay today at Beachport. Flat water due to the two headlands. Should be flyable N to S. If anyone know the name of the beach please let me know? It opposite the Pool of Siloam in the Beachport conservation park. Looks like it would be busy during summer.

Thats Rocky point or there is a surfbreak out there called Salmon Hole (thumping right hander you have to paddle 240 mts out to, you can see it breaking on Google earth, there is a bitumen carpark up there, it is really popular in summer and gets super crouded wtih swimmers in the southern end (per the photo) they snorkle there.) its a bit swirly offshore and its quite short so tacking constantly. Can't remember what the locals call it. Its all pretty heavy and hard to access around there, looked at a couple of doable beaches north of that in some of the bigger breaks that are possible.

Nice flat water spot but not so sure about kitesufing
