Little Sahara

Just north of Vivonne Bay on the south coast of Kangaroo Island, vast wind-sculpted sand dunes stretch out across the horizon, earning the area the nickname ‘Little Sahara.’ These dunes rise up to 250 feet (76 meters) high, offering expansive views over the Great Australian Bight. The undulating landscape, shaped by the persistent coastal winds, provides a natural playground for activities like sandboarding and tobogganing. Visitors can explore the dunes, feeling the soft, shifting sands beneath their feet, and enjoy the unique, desert-like environment that contrasts with the island’s lush surroundings.
