Lancelin Sand Dunes
Pure white dunes about 125 km north of Perth. Sandboarding and 4WD driving are classic pairings for a day trip to the Pinnacles.
The Lancelin Sand Dunes lie northeast of the seaside town of Lancelin. They are a white moving dune field stretching about 2 km, with fine white sand and slopes ideal for sandboarding. Shops in town rent sandboards for about 10 to 15 AUD, and you can also join 4WD sand driving or dune buggy tours. Most day tours from Perth to the Pinnacles include sandboarding here. Private vehicles must be 4WD and must lower their tire pressure before driving onto the dunes. Ordinary cars can park at the entrance car park and walk in. Bring sun protection and water, and be careful, as it is easy to lose your bearings in the dunes.
