Stockton Beach Dunes
Great sandboarding at Stockton Dunes (which runs about 15km along the coast) at newcastle, Australia.
The dunes are within walking distance but unfortunatly, there has been major sand mining in some areas. This is a problem because the size and number of dunes is shrinking but on the
other hand wherever they take a few tons of sand they make sick drops, jumps and quater pipes. Almost a sandboard park!
This location offers a wide variety of dunes from begginers to the fully
fledged serious sandboarder.
Dune description: A 27km stretch of dunes ranging from 40-50m height with a shotrt
walk to the beach, sand mining on the north end provides wild rides with hideuos drops
and large ramps for some serious fun. Most dunes accesible by 4wd but if you really
want to find the perfect secluded spot youl'l have to walk.
How to get there: Newcastle is located above Sydney and from newcastle yo can find
marked routes to NELSON BAY where you will be able to find ANNA BAY where the main
entrances are. You wil also find and entrance at LAVIS LANE just south of the RAAF
Base.
Other information: Around Nelson bay you wil be able to find a wide selection of
activities, check out tobbogan hill park
