Anna Bay, Fingal Bay, One Mile Beach, and Birubi Point form the southern coastal communities of the Port Stephens local government area, adjacent to the Worimi Conservation Lands and Stockton Bight — the largest moving sand dune system in the Southern Hemisphere. These communities attract permanent residents seeking coastal living and holiday property investors targeting the strong short-term rental market driven by Port Stephens tourism.
