Dune Blanche - Dakhla, Western Sahara - Scenic Overlooks on Waymarking.com

Perched along the desolate coastline of the Western Sahara, the Dune Blanche offers a striking and unforgettable scenic overlook where the desert meets the Atlantic Ocean in dramatic fashion. From the top of the dune, visitors are rewarded with panoramic views over the vast open sea, windswept beaches, and the endless expanse of Saharan sand.

This isolated white dune rises directly from the beach, forming a natural balcony over the shoreline. The contrast of golden sand, deep blue water, and sky creates a perfect backdrop for photography, meditation, or simply soaking in the silence of this untouched landscape.

The beach below the dune is also a popular spot for kitesurfing, thanks to the strong Atlantic winds and wide open space — attracting both seasoned riders and adventure-seekers exploring the remote coast.

Access: The overlook is only accessible on foot by walking along the beach. At high tide, it is necessary to cross a shallow stretch of water — fully walkable, though it may reach ankle or calf height depending on the season.

Despite its remoteness, Dune Blanche has become an iconic destination for off-grid explorers, overlanders, and nature lovers seeking one of the most surreal viewpoints in North Africa. There are no signposts or infrastructure — only sand, salt, and silence.
