Adrenaline junkies can rent ATVs to drive up and down the massive sand dunes of Stockton Beach in Port Stephens. You could easily mistake this beach for a desert, with dunes that are as high as 30 metres. While you’re there, have some fun with the steep slopes by sandboarding all the way down from the peak of the dunes.
