Fun fact: rumours claim that sand from Stockton Beach was used to build Waikiki in the 1950s, 1960s, or 1970s! Figures, because the sand is so lusciously soft and the beach is stunning!
You will need a 4WD as the dunes are large, so if you don't have a 4WD - go find a friend with one haha
Purchase your beach permit at the servo across from Maccas as you approach the beach (from memory, it's a 3 day pass - so if you can stay for 3 days you'll get more bang for your buck)!
Oh and also... look out for Tin City (a literal tin city amongst the dunes); a camp made up of a community of homeless men in the late 1920’s during the Great Depression. The shacks are governed by a one hundred year lease signed in 1920 under longstanding squatters settlement, and the shacks are privately occupied and passed down to family and friends!!
Notes:
Sharks are very often sighted in this area, so be careful when surfing!
Srong currents on the beach, be aware when swimming.
Tides change rapidly - be aware when parking on the beach.
