History
Atlantis was developed as an industrial town in the 1970s; the dunes themselves are older coastal deposits shaped by prevailing westerly winds.
Conservation
Riding is restricted to designated tracks to limit erosion; follow guides, avoid sensitive vegetation and never drive off-route to protect the dune ecology.
