You arrive at the crest of a wind-carved ridge with ocean light slicing the horizon; sand hisses under tires and boards, the air carrying salt and distant gull calls.

The dunes are coastal aeolian formations adjacent to the town of Atlantis, established as an industrial township in the 20th century; the area has long been used for recreation and small-scale agriculture farther inland.
Conservation
Dune vegetation is fragile—stick to marked tracks and vehicle routes, avoid trampling fynbos, and follow guides to help limit erosion and habitat damage.
