Soft Beach

You'll discover why Soft Beach earns its name the moment your tyres kiss the pristine sand near Peaceful Bay. This easy 4WD track offers the perfect introduction to beach driving, with a gentle 2.6 km run that takes just 10 minutes to complete. The flat terrain means you can focus on enjoying the stunning coastal scenery rather than wrestling with challenging obstacles, making it ideal for families, beginners, or anyone seeking a relaxing seaside adventure.

The drive itself is remarkably straightforward—zero steep grades mean you won't encounter technical challenges or require advanced driving skills. You'll traverse soft sand with gentle variations in firmness, allowing you to experience genuine off-road driving in a forgiving environment. The beach setting provides beautiful ocean views throughout your journey, and the shallow grades make it accessible to a wide range of vehicles. The six previous drivers on Newtracs have confirmed this is a genuine, well-travelled route worth experiencing.

Before heading out, deflate your tyres to improve traction on the sand and bring fresh water—beach driving can generate heat in your vehicle. Check tide times to ensure safe passage, and always carry a basic recovery kit, even on easier trails. The lack of steep grades doesn't mean complacency; soft sand can still present surprises. You'll find this trail delivers an authentic coastal 4WD experience without the stress, making it the perfect choice for building confidence or simply enjoying Western Australia's beautiful shoreline from your vehicle.
