Stockton Beach, Coastal beach in Stockton, New South Wales
The 32-kilometer stretch of Stockton Beach features wide sandy areas and tall dunes reaching heights of over 30 meters along Newcastle Bight.
The beach contains multiple shipwreck sites from maritime incidents, including the 1798 sloop Norfolk and the MV Sygna that met their fate on these shores.
The Worimi people named this area Burrabihngarn and used it for fishing and gathering during seasonal mullet migrations along the New South Wales coast.
Visitors can access the beach through entry points at Lavis Lane or Anna Bay, with permits required for four-wheel drive vehicles on designated sections.
The sand dunes of Stockton Beach shift and move continuously, creating different landscapes and revealing historical artifacts buried beneath the surface.
