What To Do - Driving & Tours

 

Driving on the beach can be a wonderful holiday experience, but for your own safety, and the safety of other beach users and local wildlife please:

• Keep to the speed limit of 40kph on Flinders Beach and 60kph on Main Beach.
• Slow down when other vehicles are approaching.
• Slow down when approaching stationary vehicles.
• Slow down when you're approaching creek crossings (if unsure, get out and survey the crossing, checking ledge depth and hardness of sand).
• Follow tyre manufacturers' recommendations for tyre pressure when driving on sand.
• Respect resting sea birds by slowing down and trying to avoid disturbing them.

Do not:

• Drive in the water.
• Drive in a reckless manner.
• Drive on any sand dunes, in rehabilitation areas or in vehicle restricted areas.
• Park your vehicle on any sand dunes or within the area of beach used for driving.
• Drive on the beach at high tide.
• Don't forget you need a permit to drive on island beaches. You can get one at the Visitor Information Centres at both Dunwich and Cleveland.
