At 107 km this is the longest driveable beach in the country, longer than the famous 90 Mile, running roughly between Aranga and Baylys Beach. Golden dunes back the whole stretch, and it's got a rich history of shipwrecks, including ancient Portuguese vessels and a French man-of-war. There's a hill climb up to the lighthouse at the Pouto end, and a maze of inland tracks through the dunes worth a play. Follow the track that runs behind the beach and you'll find some great hidden camp spots. The Pouto marine campground nearby is a good small site, but book ahead.

The entry near Aranga can be tricky, with sharp rocks, a steep drop and soft sand, so keep your momentum up before you reach the hard-packed dry sand. The exit at Baylys is simple, and many find the run easier in that direction. Surreal feeling driving down the coast with nothing but sand and water in sight.

It's a gazetted highway, so standard road rules apply. Drive the hard sands two hours either side of low tide, and 4WD is strongly recommended. Check tides, keep momentum over soft spots, and travel with recovery gear and ideally a second vehicle. Quicksand may be present near the tip and some dune areas.
