Local Insights

Wildlife

  • Cape grysbok or other small antelope in scrub margins
  • Coastal birds such as kelp gulls and terns along the shore

History

The dunes lie near Atlantis, a town established in the 1970s as part of regional industrial planning; the area’s coastal sands have long been shaped by oceanic currents and strong westerly winds.

Conservation

Stick to marked access areas and follow your guide — dune ecosystems are fragile, and trampling can destabilize dune grasses that anchor the sand.
