Best times to visit
Summer
With temperatures averaging in the high twenties and a campground right near the beach, sleep in the comfort of your tent accompanied by the sounds of nearby crashing waves.
Autumn
With a greater chance of cloud cover during autumn, it's a great time of year to take some fantastic photographs of the historic sites of Stockton Beach.
Winter
A cooler temperature and more turbulent ocean, it makes Stockton a quieter time to take a stroll down the beach.

Visiting Workmi National Park with friends and family was an unforgettable adventure. The highlight was the amazing sand dunes, where we spent hours sliding down and racing each other. The thrill of speeding down the slopes was exhilarating, and it brought out the kid in all of us. The park is well-maintained, with scenic picnic areas and helpful staff ensuring a smooth experience. It's a perfect spot for a day of fun and relaxation, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy nature and some exciting activities.

Beautiful sand dunes stretching for 32km with ocean views. Several companies do sand boarding here which was a lot of fun. Shaded areas to rest, water for sale really cheaply, regular shuttle service where you can just come & go as suits you, two types of board for sitting/standing and thoughtfully different widths between foot holds for different sized people. Several different types of slope to try out including some pretty extreme ones!

Love coming down to this part of the world. Only a couple of hours from the hustle and bustle of Sydney. Bring a canopy, some chairs, food and cold drinks and just enjoy the day. Or be a little more adventurous and bring a quad bike or dirt bikes to play on the dunes. Heck, you can even use your 4x4 to play on the dunes with. Oh and don't forget to bring an air compressor to pump your tyres back up before hitting the freeway back home.

Saw the sand dunes from afar as it was raining and you can only drive on them if u have a 4WD. Would have done the quad tour if it wasn't raining.

35km long sand dunes, something different to enjoy for everyone here. Beautiful beach, camel rides, sandboarding, restaurant, cafe and toilet facilities. I loved every minute here on Anna bay.
