Birubi Beach is the most popular destination in the Port Stephens area, spanning part of the 34 kilometre stretch of Stockton Bright. The coastal stretch is exposed to the wind and waves, but the northern corner is hidden away from the sea breeze, providing a more peaceful place to explore. The area on which Stockton Bright lies belongs to the Worimi people who manage the area in conjunction with National Parks and Wildlife Services. The area itself is quite large, boasting a size of over 4,200 hectares of land. 32 kilometres belong to the ever-shifting sand dunes. Some of these sand dunes reach heights of up to 50 metres which make for a majestic view while you’re sand boarding down the dunes.
