Information

This is one of the major exit points off the beach where the track continues towards Sandy Cape.This beach drive is rated as hard - 4WD standard. Drivers require an Arthur-Pieman Recreational Drivers Pass.? Travelling in the company of other vehicles is essential along Sandy Cape beach due to the occurrence of quicksand, that has been known to swallow whole vehicles, and the potential need for rapid retrieval, before the tide rises. ?Always check conditions before driving on beaches. Large swell will have an impact on the beach accessibility and beach driving is not recommended with 4 metre plus swells. ?After rainfall in winter, the rivers may also be high, this combined with large ocean swell makes the conditions too dangerous to traverse the 4WD tracks.
