Located at Stockton Bight, these are the longest, moving sand dunes in the southern hemisphere, stretching over 35km. Thanks to the generosity of the Worimi people, you’re able to roam around (provided you don’t disturb any Aboriginal sites) and drive along the beach (4WD only; permit required). Get your permits from the visitor centre or National Parks & Wildlife Service (NPWS) office in Nelson Bay, the Anna Bay BP and IGA, or the 24-hour Metro service station near the Lavis Lane entry.
It’s possible to become so surrounded by shimmering sand that you’ll lose sight of the ocean or any sign of life. At the far western end of the beach, the wreck of the Sygna founders in the water.
