Choosing a Day on the Dunes

The Tomaree side of Port Stephens splits neatly in two. Nelson Bay, Shoal Bay, Fingal Bay and Corlette face the calm water of the bay, while Anna Bay sits on the ocean side where the Worimi dunes begin.

For a group trip, that means you can stay near the marina and still spend hours out on the dunes. Sand Dune Safaris at Anna Bay is the dune operator for this part of the region.

How the towns of the Tomaree area fit a sand dune outing:

Anna Bay is the launch point, since the dunes start at the edge of town and the charters leave from there.
Nelson Bay suits a group that wants restaurants, the marina and a lively evening after a day on the sand.
Shoal Bay and Fingal Bay give a quieter beach base for families, with Tomaree Head close by for a morning walk.
One Mile and Bobs Farm sit between the bay and the dunes, handy for groups splitting time between the two.
Sand Dune Safaris runs family-sized safaris and private 4WD charters, with pricing from $40 per person.

Book the dune day first, then build the rest of the weekend around it from whichever bay town your group is staying in.
