Adventure at Port Stephens Sand Dunes

#portstephens #annabay #sanddunes #travel #familytravel #blueskies If you ever get the chance to visit Port Stephens, you have to check out the sand dunes. Honestly, I didn’t expect to be this impressed — it’s like stepping into a whole different world. Endless golden dunes, clear blue skies, and that crazy feeling of standing somewhere that feels so far from everything. We didn’t have a super detailed plan, just showed up ready to explore. Somehow that made it even better. Some people were sandboarding down the dunes (looked epic, might need to try next time!), while others were just walking and soaking up the views. I ended up kicking off my shoes and just wandering barefoot across the soft sand — felt like a little kid again. The coolest part? The light changes everything. In the afternoon, the sand looks almost white under the sun, but as it gets closer to sunset, the dunes start to glow with these deep golden and orange tones. It’s seriously one of the most photogenic places I’ve been. We stayed until sunset and watched the sky turn all kinds of crazy colors. It was peaceful, a little windy, and honestly just pure magic. Definitely one of those moments you don’t rush — just stand there, breathe it all in, and let it be one of those memories. Port Stephens, you’re a vibe. Already thinking about when I can come back. #sydney
