Three Bears

Yallingup, Australia
👥Crowded🪸Sharp reef🪨Rocks

Three Bears is a consistent left-hand reef break near Yallingup that offers a high-driving barrel after a peaky takeoff. The exposed reef picks up plenty of swell and works across most tidal stages. Named for the three distinct sections along the reef—Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear—each offering different wave characteristics. A reliable option when the bigger Margaret River breaks are too heavy.
