How to get to Lancelin Sand Dunes Western Australia, Australia

Ok so we have just returned from our vacation in Western Australia. Of course like many other tourists, we wanted to visit the Sand Dunes located in a small town called Lancelin. I tried to google...checking TripAdvisor and so forth for the exact location, how to get there and if there were any parking spaces nearby. Somehow, there isn't any clear information on these. So..... I'm gonna share with you some of the information I gathered during my trip there.

Getting there.

Our apartment was located in Perth. As such, we had to make a approx. 90 minutes drive up north. If you have a GPS with you, search for GULL Petrol Kiosk Lancelin Roadhouse (Picture 1) It should appear on the list. Set that place as your destination / landmark. Once you're there, the friendly folks over at the Roadhouse would be more than glad to show you the way through a map they have. And just FYI, if you are planning to do some sand surfing, there do have it on rental and sale as well. We took a whole day rental of A$40 and a deposit as well. It will also be a good time to fill up your gas since you're already at the Petrol Kiosk. Now back to the Sand Dunes directions, If you asks the cashier at the Roadhouse, they would probably show you the Map to the dunes(Picture 2). Please refer to to Picture 2 for directions :)

* GULL Lancelin RoadHouse is located along Walker Ave Junction of King St.

* From there, head up straight to GINGIN RD and drive all the way up till where the road turns right.

* after the right turn you will reach a T-junction (Beacon rd on your right and Bootoo St on your right.

* Turn left to Beacon Road and you will see the Green Signboard that says "Lancelin Offroad Area".

* Turn in into the Offroad area and head in.

* You will then see the caution signboards(shown below) about 50m inside.

* Drive right in and there's a proper parking space about less than 100m inside. by now you should be able to see the beautiful dunes right ahead.

* Park your ride and make your way to the Dunes Bebeh! (Its about 400m walk in... hah!)

Now that you know how to get there, Just so you know, there's also a stretch of shops along GINGIN Road in case you need to have a quick bite. There's a shop that sells fantastic Fish & Chips called LJ's Diners and also a surf shop, Lancelin Surf, that has beach wears,wet suits, surfboards etc.

And after a day of fun at the dunes, another place worth the visit before sunset would be the Lancelin Beach, which is just a few minutes drive back down GINGIN Road and it is nearby there. (refer to Picture 2 as well) the water is pristine clear and the sand is beautiful! There's not much crowd there as well so you can enjoy the beach. Parking spaces plenty and are located along the road.
