You can drive in past the bitumen road, even in a 2wd car. The ‘roads’ around Wedge are rock solid and although a little bumpy you won’t have any issues. Most of the time the beach is that hard that you can drive onto it as well. If it isn’t, you can park your car out of the way and walk about 100 metres to the beach.

Have a great trip

Thank you for your informative blog, it is very useful and an excellent site. We are planning to go next week and have a question to ask you, now that Wedge Island is accessible by the 2WD, how far it is to walk to the beach from the bitumen road as we have small kids and elderly. We would love to experience Wedge Island, it looks really amazing in the pics on the website. Thank you for your help

I love Lucky Bay, and recommend it to lots of people. I wrote an article on it at http://www.triggertravel.com/travel-western-australia/lucky-bay/

Sandy Cape is worth a visit too, but Lucky Bay is awesome because you can do so many different activities there.

Have a good one

I agree, it should have been left alone, but it’s called ‘progress’. We have ‘fished all night’ without a problem but to be honest, the fishing has gone down-hill and a lot more sea-weed around than use to be. We have found another place to go, a bit of a trek and definately not an over-nighter, we have been going to Lucky Bay, north of the pink lakes at Port Gregory (south of Wagoe, great spot. Have you been there? We have had no problems taking our off-road pop top camper and it is very popular but a huge area where you can really enjoy the scenery and relax, but as I said…..only good if you can stay for at least 3 nights.

I have heard that new toilet rules have come into WA – so it isn’t a joke! Some camp-sites ban anyone without chemical toilets now. As for sleeping around Wedge Island, I have heard people ‘fish all night’ but I would rather not take the risk. It is disgusting around Wedge Island, and it’s gotten much worse since they opened it up. It should have been left alone

The camping ban is going to be a permanent thing. I don’t think they will change anything unless something happens with the shacks. The closest place north of Lancelin to camp is quite a bit further past Cervantes (asides from Caravan Parks). Thanks for the comment

Great Blog Aaron, im all new to this blogging caper and its an excellent source of info

The inland track isn’t closed, unless they are doing firing exercises. However, it is quite difficult to follow without getting lost, due to many different ways to go
