Port Stephens beaches

The perfect holiday destination - a blue water paradise made up of pristine and unspoiled waterways, over 26 golden sandy beaches, eco-diverse Marine and National Parks, all the adventure and fun that you could wish for. There is never a lack of warm white sand to sink your feet into. Click here to download the Port Stephens Beach and Bay Guide.

Nature is at the centre of all that is Port Stephens. With a resident population of bottlenose dolphins, whales in season, spectacular bushwalking and wildflowers and endless water activities such as first-class snorkelling and diving in marine parks.

Mother Nature’s diversity in Port Stephens offers something for everyone and Port Stephens is the perfect escape route for city-dwellers, those seeking relaxation, anyone after outdoor family activities or for those in the pursuit of fun.

Imagine waking up at home and that same afternoon you are boom netting with dolphins, discovering koalas in their natural habitat or exploring the massive Stockton sand dunes ‘Mad Max’ style all only 2 1/2 hours drive from Sydney.

We look forward to welcoming you to our Blue Water Paradise, Port Stephens. 
 
 
 

One of our patrolled beaches Fingal Bay provides the perfect spot for a day at the beach, fishing, surfing, picnic or a barbeque. You can also take a walk to Barry Park or cross the spit to see the lighthouse. Just make sure you check the tide times first.

 

Holiday with the whole family at Bagnalls Beach, which is our only dog friendly beach on the Tomaree Peninsula. Why not take the dog for a walk and go for a swim at the same time!

 

This picture perfect beach is one of the best spots to take a swim. One Mile Beach offers nice sized waves that you can learn to surf, paddle on the edge or relax as the waves role in.

 

Known for its white sands and clear blue water, Shoal bay boasts a public jetty, boat ramp and kayak hire. It is the perfect place for a swim and has a spectacular view of the headland.

 

Accessible by Shoal Bay, Zenith Beach has been host to many weddings and is the perfect spot to sit and take in the beauty of Port Stephens.

 

With a back drop like the Stockton Sand dunes what more could you ask for? With a cafe, life guards and 32km of beach to walk, Birubi has so much to offer.

 

Little Beach is the perfect spot to take the kids for a swim with out worrying about big crashing waves, this part of the bay is perfect for a family day out.

 

A smaller beach to many of the others but perfect for a swim, snorkel or a barbeque. Dutchies has even been known to be home to our resident penguins.

 

Box beach is one of those not so accessible beaches but perfect for a morning surf or body board.
