Driving 2020 Lexus RX 350 FSport AWD on to Newcastle Stockton Sand Dunes 2021.
My car is a AWD instead of 4WD. It has center diff lock. The sand dunes and beach is an awesome place to take your car off road between Newcastle Stockton and Port Stephens Anna Bay. Just make sure you have enough clearance, lower tyre pressures and keep up the momentum. I was lucky to be travelling with a mate in his Jeep all decked out with recovery boards and tow wrench just in case. Didn't need any towing at all as the Lexus was quite capable.

Please share your experience on these beautiful beaches comments below. Just make sure you don't take a 'Maserati' on there. You know what I mean.
