Shoal Bay Accommodation & Holiday Rentals

Shoal Bay is a beachside village in Port Stephens, about five minutes from Nelson Bay and roughly two and a half hours north of Sydney. Our Shoal Bay holiday rentals range from one-bedroom beachfront units to larger family houses, with pet-friendly, waterfront and boat-parking options, and most sit within a short walk of the sand. Book directly with our local team and save.

The beach is the reason people come back. Shoal Bay Beach is calm and shallow along most of its length, sheltered by the headlands at either end, which makes it one of the easier beaches in the area for young families. Tomaree Head rises at the eastern end, and the shops, cafés and Country Club sit a street back from the water.

• The Beaches: Swim and paddleboard in the calm water at Shoal Bay Beach, or head over the headland to the surf at Zenith and Box Beach. (Read our Port Stephens Beach Guide)
• Local Dining: Mediterranean share plates at Atmos, woodfired pizza at the Shoal Bay Country Club, or a relaxed breakfast at The Cafe — all within walking distance of most of our properties. (View our Local Dining Guide)
• Adventure & Views: The Tomaree Head Summit Walk climbs to sweeping views across Port Stephens and out to the offshore islands, passing the WWII gun emplacements at Fort Tomaree on the way. (See Things to Do in Nelson Bay)
