Our kids used to call this beach Far Out and Freaky because of the stunning, windswept dunes and huge wild landscape complete with caves and cavorting baby seals. Its a 20 minute walk from the car park, or you can take in the vistas from the three hour clifftop walk from the Farewell Spit Visitor Center.
