Seal Bay is a large sandy beach and dune area where Australian sea lions rest and nurse their young. Carpark is located adjacent to the Visitor Centre.
A breeding colony of sea lions, whose forebears managed to survive the savagery of early sealers, can be seen resting in the sun after feeding at sea for three days. Others ride the waves onto the beach. It is well worth a visit to the lookout before commencing the guided tour.
Today, these rare sea lions are protected by law. Under the guidance of a National Parks Ranger, you can walk on the beach to within a few metres of the resting sea lions, or alternatively view them from the boardwalk. Beach tours run regularly throughout the day.
Further Information
Little Sahara within the park is an area of spectacular white sand dunes, surrounded by bush vegetation. Climbing over the first ridge, you are confronted by a second and much higher dune, which when scaled, does not expose the coast as one would expect, but more dunes flanked by bushland. A climb to the top of the razor back ridges in the heat of the day will convince you that the shade of the Australian bush is far more preferable.
