Stockton Beach Sand Dunes, NSW
Stockton Beach is a 32 kilometers long beach with up to 1 km wide sand dunes. It is between Anna Bay of Port Stephens and the town of Stockton near Newcastle.
You need a four-weel-drive vehicle with a low-range and have tyre pressures lowered to around 16psi. You need to buy a permit to drive there or book a tour. 2 hours tour costed us 48AUD per person, and there were 6 people in a vehicle with a driver who was talking about dunes, beach and life around.
You can ride a horse or camel as well.
You can do sand-boarding. It is better in wet conditions as sand is more slippery so you can go faster. It is a bit scary when you look first time from the top of a dune, but it is really exciting.
It is probably much nicer in a sunny weather, but we enjoyed it anyway. We will definitely come next time to make more exciting pictures, especially my dream one with sun, dunes and camels.
