Introducing Port Stephens

This stunning sheltered bay incorporates a string of coastal towns populated by welcoming locals with a passion for their local environment. About an hour’s drive north of Newcastle, it occupies a submerged valley that stretches more than 20km inland. It’s a popular boating, fishing and family holiday spot and home to some 160 resident dolphins and the odd passing whale. The area offers all kinds of adventure activities and several near-deserted beaches fringed by bungalows. Nelson Bay is the unofficial capital of Port Stephens.
