The gateway to the spectacular Stockton Bight Sand Dunes in the Worimi Conservation Lands, Anna Bay is ideal for outdoor adventures. While the giant sand dunes are the star attraction, you can also enjoy beach fishing, surfing and exploring rock pools in this relaxed surf village in the Port Stephens area. Worimi Conservation Lands Covering 4,200 hectares along the coast between the Hunter River at Newcastle in the south and Anna Bay in the north, the Worimi Conservation Lands are one of Australia s great natural wonders and a place of Aboriginal cultural significance. They are home to the Stockton Bight Sand Dunes, the largest moving coastal sand dunes in the southern hemisphere. There are many ways to explore the dunes. Take a sunset camel or horse ride, cruise around in a 4WD or climb to the top to slide down the slope on a sandboard. Further south, you can join Sand Dune Adventures for a cultural quad bike tour, learning about the local Aboriginal heritage and visiting ancient campsites. Things to do Anna Bay is home to two great surf beaches: the patrolled Birubi Beach and One Mile Beach. Beginners can take a lesson with Port Stephens Surf School, while there are plenty of solid breaks to entertain more experienced surfers. There are also pretty rock pools to explore around Anna Bay. The whole family will love getting up close to marine life at Irukandji Shark & Ray Encounters where you can feed, pet or snorkel with animals in a shallow lagoon. Unpatrolled Fishermans Bay and Boat Harbour are great for snorkelling with a rocky reef that draws lots of marine life, including wrasse, bream, morwong, black rock cod and even sea turtles. This stretch of coastline is also a great location for viewing humpback whales on their migration along the NSW North Coast during May and November. East of Anna Bay is Tomaree National Park, where there are many coastal walks, including the path to the Tomaree Head summit in Shoal Bay, which rewards with incredible panoramic views over Port Stephens. The park s beaches provide the perfect backdrop for a picnic, or there are barbecue facilities around Anna Bay and Fishermans Bay. Eat & drink If you re hungry, Crest Birubi Beach serves breakfast and lunch with a side of water views. Pasta di Porto is another local gem, where you can pick up artisan pasta products. Along the main road, you ll also find tiny farm gates selling fresh produce like tomatoes, avocados, farm-fresh eggs and figs.

Fantastic location and outlook
The outlook over the water is amazing. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner on the terrace one evening with the brand new bbq and spare tables and chairs kept in the garage. The only negative I have is that there is only one split-system a/c in the living room and it doesnt reach to the 2 back bedrooms which get very hot in summer.

Nice little getaway
Easy booking in, only thing was we didn’t know there were stairs to some beds and we had a person who can’t get up or down more than one step but we improvised, would have been helpful if the description, but a beautiful spot and would go back again

Great house and location
We loved the house and its location. It was a pleasure to stay in. Inevitably rental properties, especially near the sea, undergo wear and tear, and agents need to check supplies of essential equipment and that all things are working properly. We needed to purchase a few things ourselves, but we have rebooked for later in the year.
