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.

Wear closed-toe shoes
Soft sand hides hot surfaces and shifting footing — sturdy trainers or hiking shoes protect your feet and improve control on the quad.
Secure electronics
Bring a lanyard or waterproof case; sand and wind can quickly damage phones and cameras during open-run sections.
Hydrate and sunscreen
The West Coast sun and wind dehydrate quickly—carry water and SPF even on overcast days.
