RV TRAVEL
As you get closer to the coast , Big Sandy appears before you . This massive sand dune has to be attempted with respect . It ’ s a 1km uphill run in your 4WD , and if you have the wrong tyre pressure you ’ ll need to reverse back down and start again . This is the last major obstacle before hitting Nine Mile Beach and your designated campsite , which must be booked online before you arrive .
INCREDIBLE BEACH DRIVING
Nine Mile Beach is just that : nine miles of unbelievable beach driving . A word of caution though : there are 4m tides here , so you need to know what the water is doing at any time . There is only one way in and one way out .
There are four campsites along the beach , each with their own special quality . Some have views of the open water , some have dune walks and , at others , you can watch the sun set behind you over the mountains . There are no toilets or fresh water available , so you need to be self-sufficient and adhere to the rules of the park .
For the adventurous , a great test of your driving skills is to head to the very northern end to Five Rocks Beach , down the Death Valley Track . Getting there is as easy as heading back off the beach , down Big Sandy and following the signs to Five Rocks .
