About this place

Dunn Rocks is a low, rocky headland flanked on each side by sweeping white beaches. Nearest campgrounds are in the south-west corner of the park at Le Grand Beach and Lucky Bay Campground and on the eastern edge of the park at the Duke of Orleans Caravan Park.

If you have a four-wheel drive vehicle, you can drive right up to the water's edge at Dunns Rock. However, be aware that these beaches are notoriously treacherous for vehicles and it is easy to become bogged in the most innocent looking wet or dry sand. Ask the ranger about surface conditions and tides.

Safety information

Plan when to visit. Consider travelling with a personal location beacon (PLB). In the event you need to be rescued it could save your life!

The Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions undertakes 1080 baiting at this location to reduce the impacts of feral cats and foxes on native wildlife. 

Meat baits containing 1080 poison are laid in or around this area on an ongoing basis. 1080 is poisonous to humans and will kill domestic cats and dogs. Pets are not permitted in this park. 

For further information contact your local Parks and Wildlife Service office or visit Western Shield.
