Worimi Sand Dunes (Birubi Beach)

The Worimi Sand Dunes at Birubi Beach in Anna Bay, Port Stephens, New South Wales, form part of the Stockton Bight Sand Dunes, the largest moving coastal sand mass in the Southern Hemisphere. Stretching 32 kilometres and reaching heights of up to 30 metres, the dunes lie within Worimi Conservation Lands. Notable for dramatic desert-like landscapes, Aboriginal cultural heritage, and activities such as sandboarding and 4WD tours, they are a major natural attraction near Newcastle.

Visitors can expect vast, desert-like sand dunes up to 30 metres high stretching along Birubi Beach and Stockton Bight, with sweeping coastal views and windswept terrain. The area is accessed via Birubi Beach car park and beach entry point. Visitors can explore on foot, join guided 4WD, quad bike, sandboarding, camel or horse riding tours, and see interpretive signage about Worimi culture and natural environment. The landscape is exposed with little shade and soft sand underfoot.
