Off the Old Coorong Rd which heads off the Princess Hwy about 18km north of Kingston SE, a small track leads to a large carpark. I’m sure that these small rounded boulders are of geological significance, but only a few birds use them to roost on, and the vegetation is poor along the dunes which are fenced off, so there’s nothing to rave about here, though it is a nice uncrowded spot for a walk along the beach, there are no facilities, though people do park here overnight.

Camp rating 7 best for self contained vehicles in the carpark, there are no facilities
