Big Drift
A large area of shifting dunes near the park's northern entrance. Rolling sand hills resemble a small desert, and you can climb the dunes for views of the coast.
The dunes were formed by strong southwesterly winds and cover several square kilometers. From the Stockyard campground car park, a track of about 1 km leads into the dune area. The sand surface rises and falls, and from the highest points you can see the endless sand hills and the coastline beyond. The light at sunrise and sunset is especially beautiful. The dune area has no defined paths, and strong winds can whip up sand, so protect your camera and remember the way back. In summer, the sand at midday gets very hot.
