Port Lincoln to Coffin Bay via Whalers Way ?

You need a key to get into Whalers Way and it needs to be returned to the Port Lincoln Visitors Centre.

As stated, you need to pick the key up and return to the Port Lincoln Visitor Information Centre to get your deposit back, and it is a one way drive through Whalers Way and you must return the way you come in.

All good advice. The direct answer to your question is no. The coastline there is incredibly challenging given there’s no beaches as the cliffs come all the way to the water to start with. Also heaps of private property which you cannot cross. Have a play in the Sleaford dunes if you’re looking for some sand driving. If you’re contemplating heading into the Coffin Bay NP be very well prepared for self recovery. & take particular note of the tides.

Rolla if you have the time I suggest a day trip into the Lincoln NP exploall the coves out as far as Memory Cove & return. This also needs a key from the Lincoln VIC. If you’re lucky you will see pods of dolphins surfing the swell chasing fish into some of the coves. It’s a very special place.

Hi Rolla
All that has been said is good, but to be clear about the Sleaford dunes, there is a very scenic drive along the coast on the Sleaford - Wanna Track. You will easily find this on your map. It is a 4wd track, but not a serious challenge and you would be very unlucky to get bogged in the sandhills. The scenery is possibly better if travelling the track east to west. There is a lookout at Wanna overlooking Wedding Cake Island - you will understand the name when you see it.
You could save the rest of your off-roading skills for Coffin Bay NP where there are many challenges on the beaches!
If spending some time in the Coffin Bay/Lincoln area, you can get a pass to cover your NP entry fee for the period from the Nat Parks Office in Port Lincoln.

On the way back from Point Sir Isaac, towing the tinny in 2001.
