What you can do

By following these simple steps you can reduce your impact on the dunes.

Coast Care 1

Coast Care 2

  1. Look for the Signs
    Signs show you the best and fastest way to the beach.
  1. Respect the Fences
    Fences protect dune plants. Keep to your side of the fence to let plants grow.
  1. Surf the waves Not the Dunes
    Sandboarding on the dunes destroys plants, loosens the sand and causes erosion.

Coast Care 5

Coast Care 6
  1. Keep Motorbikes off the Dunes
    Important plants and birds live in the dunes. Motorbikes destroy them.
  1. Look after the Plants
    Feet do kill plants. Coastal native plants hold the sand together. Dunes build up, protect our land and houses during storms and povide homes for insects, birds and lizards.
  1. Look after the Dunes
    Sandy beaches are great places to have fun. Look after the dunes so that we can keep our fantastic beaches.
