What people say
Great spot we stayed in the caravan park at the beach and can highly recommend plenty of places within walking distance and loved watching the ships come in
Loved it, sunset was pretty, the dunes/sand was a great experience to be driving on! Great camping spot with plenty of room per site
Stockton Beach is a must-visit for anyone seeking an adrenaline rush and a unique outdoor experience. Renowned for its vast, towering sand dunes, it's a playground for sandboarding enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike.
Love love love this beach for 4WD. The beach stretches all the way to Anna Bay making for a thrilling experience. The sand dunes are just amazing. Just miles and miles of beach on one side and sand dunes on the other. It makes for a fabulous day out. Just remember to use restrooms before entering the beach as the entire stretch of.beach has no amenities. You are able to go quad biking and camel riding here. There are a few businesses that provide these services
