    Best times to visit

    Autumn

    With a greater chance of cloud cover during autumn, it's a great time of year to take some fantastic photographs of the historic sites of Stockton Beach.

    Summer

    With temperatures averaging in the high twenties and a campground right near the beach, sleep in the comfort of your tent accompanied by the sounds of nearby crashing waves.

    Winter

    A cooler temperature and more turbulent ocean, it makes Stockton a quieter time to take a stroll down the beach.
