Perth & South West WA · 2 tracks
MediumWilbinga Beach & Dunes
The closest legal beach driving to Perth at about 70km north of the CBD via Wanneroo Road. Wilbinga Conservation Park sits between Two Rocks and Guilderton and encompasses several kilometres of sandy coastal tracks and three distinct sand bowl areas. Access is via Wilbinga Road heading west off Wanneroo Road, or through the Wilbinga Grove rest area further north. The beach itself is stunning — long stretches of white sand with Wilbinga Island visible offshore. Great fishing for tailor and herring along the beach. The sand bowls inland from the beach are excellent for practicing dune climbing and testing vehicle capability. Tracks range from flat coastal runs to steep dune climbs that will genuinely challenge your setup. The soft sand near the dune crests is the most dangerous section — if you lose momentum going uphill you will need a recovery. Popular with dirt bikes too so stay aware on blind crests.
⚠ Tyre pressure is critical — driving at road pressure will get you bogged immediately. Sand conditions change constantly; a dune that was firm last week may be soft today. Carry a shovel and snatch strap as minimum. Bring a sand flag — bikes frequent the area and visibility over dune crests is poor. No facilities on the beach; carry all your water and food.
MediumLancelin Sand Dunes
The most iconic sand dune driving in WA and the closest serious dune experience to Perth at 127km north of the CBD. About 220 hectares of towering white dunes sitting directly inland from the Lancelin township. The dune system runs approximately 2km long with some faces approaching 45 degrees — these are the biggest dunes in WA. Entry is via Bootoo Street on the northern end of Lancelin and is free. The dunes are open sunrise to sunset. From the top of the main dunes you get panoramic views over the town, the Indian Ocean, Lancelin Island, and the surrounding farmland — spectacular at sunrise and sunset. The dunes are shared with dirt bikes, quad bikes, and sandboarders so situational awareness is essential. Dune shape changes constantly with the wind so what you drove last time may look completely different. Designated sandboarding areas are off-limits to vehicles and are clearly signed.
⚠ Shared with motorbikes and buggies — use a sand flag and go slow over blind crests. Dunes open sunrise to sunset only. No camping permitted in the dunes. Sand gets extremely hot in summer — carry plenty of water. Some dune faces are dangerously steep for inexperienced drivers.
