Little Sahara
A cluster of white sand dunes appearing unexpectedly in the scrubland of southern Kangaroo Island. You can rent sandboards and slide down the steep slopes, a favorite with families.
Little Sahara is a white dune field covering about 2 square kilometers in the south of Kangaroo Island. The tallest dune is about 70 meters high and is surrounded by native scrub, a stark contrast to the surrounding farmland. The Little Sahara Adventure Centre at the entrance rents sandboards and sleds by the hour. Climbing to the top of a dune and sliding back down is one of the island's most popular experiences. It is located beside the South Coast Road near Vivonne Bay and can be combined with Seal Bay and the wildlife park. Bring sunglasses and drinking water, as on windy days the sand can sting your face.
