Why it's worth checking out

The appeal is a spectacular, wild stretch of coast — Stockton Beach, famous for its vast sand dunes, the longest moving coastal dunes in the Southern Hemisphere, a genuine favourite for a walk, a swim, four-wheel driving, sandboarding or simply soaking up the dramatic setting. It's a lovely, memorable outing.
