Little Dip Conservation Park
A coastal dune and lake conservation area south of Robe, with four-wheel-drive tracks across white dunes; camp by the lake and see kangaroos and waterbirds.
Little Dip Conservation Park runs about 13 km south along the coast from the southern edge of the town of Robe. Its landscape consists of white moving dunes, limestone sea cliffs, seasonal lakes and coastal scrub, home to grey kangaroos, echidnas and many waterbirds. Ordinary vehicles can reach Long Gully and several beach access points, but routes deeper into the dunes require a four-wheel-drive vehicle with reduced tyre pressure; four-wheel-drive dune driving is the most popular activity here. The park has several basic campsites, which must be booked on the South Australian National Parks website, with limited facilities, so bring your own water. A coastal trail leads to an uninhabited small bay, but waves and rip currents are strong, so it is not suitable for swimming.
