Port Stephens
Port Stephens is possibly the most ideal family-friendly vacation spot in New South Wales. Situated just two and a half hours north of Sydney, this destination provides a diverse range of holiday accommodations tailored to fit every budget.
Spanning an impressive two and a half times the size of Sydney Harbour, Port Stephens is a sprawling waterway adorned with numerous offshore islands and abundant fishing grounds.
For boating enthusiasts, it’s nothing short of a paradise, boasting extensive miles of navigable waterways, convenient access for trailer boats, and an abundance of marinas catering to larger vessels and provisioning needs.
History of Port Stephens
The Port Stephens area was initially inhabited by the Worimi Tribe, characterised by Charles Grimes as a taller and stouter people with a distinct language compared to those near Sydney.
Upon white settlement, around 400 Aborigines resided in the Port Stephens estuary. However, by 1873, the tribe had dwindled to only 50 members, and by 1900, few tribal Aborigines remained. Observers from that era provided glimpses of a way of life that has largely vanished.
The region harbours numerous Aboriginal relic sites, notably the “Canoe Trees” at Little Beach. The specific locations of these sites are confidential. From Wallis Lakes to Newcastle, there are 37 recorded ceremonial sites (stone arrangements, bora grounds, carved trees, and burial sites), 115 campsites (mia mia, scarred trees, open campsites, shelters with deposits, wells, fish traps, abraded grooves, and quarries), and 97 middens. Yacaaba Head hosts four middens and a burial site, while middens are found at Fingal Spit, Anna Bay, Schnapper Point, Boat Harbour, Skate Bay, and Fishermans Bay. Skate Bay also features a burial site, and grinding grooves are present at Morna Point.
Port Stephens gained European attention in May 1770 when Captain James Cook documented it as “an opening forming a bay.” He went on to describe, “Wind southerly in the day and the night westerly, a gentle breeze and clear weather. At 4 pm past, at a distance of one mile a low rocky point which I named Point Stephens… on the north side of this point is an inlet which I called Port Stephens that appears from the masthead to be sheltered from all winds”.
Nelson Bay
The heart of Port Stephens is undoubtedly Nelson Bay. It has always been an incredibly popular holiday destination for families and offers a wide range of houses, duplexes, townhouses and units available for holiday accommodation.
There are many Nelson Bay activities and things to do. Nelson Bay CBD offers a range of restaurants, cafes and numerous shops to keep the shop-a-holic busy as well as an incredibly popular golf course, bowling club, Wests Diggers club and world-class marina complex with its collection of shops and restaurants.
Shoal Bay
Shoal Bay is perhaps the ideal holiday spot for those who want to lie on the gorgeous beach all day and party all night at either the Country Club or Wests Diggers Club (both within walking distance). Shoal Bay offers a variety of accommodation choices to suit all budgets.
Surf beaches can be found on the Eastern side of Shoal Bay accessed via Tomaree National Park and the walking trail up Tomaree headland is also very popular with the more energetic tourists.
Fingal Bay
A quiet little suburb throughout most of the year, Fingal Bay comes alive in summer with the onslaught of tourist season. Little wonder too, Fingal Bay has an incredibly popular beach offering protected areas ideal for small children yet just further along the beach are some out-of-the-way board riding spots very well known amongst locals.
Fingal Bay Beach is patrolled by volunteer lifeguards (check at the clubhouse for patrol times) so it is perhaps the ideal beach to suit all the family members (including the fishermen). Fingal Bay has a couple of shops just a block back from the beach offering takeaway food and general store items.
Fingal Bay offers predominantly duplexes and houses for holiday accommodation with a handful of small units and townhouse blocks close to the beach.
Corlette
Accommodation in Corlette features proximity to the pristine sands of Bagnall Beach, which is a pet-friendly “off-leash” beach and just a 3-minute drive to Nelson Bay or a 2-minute drive to Salamander shopping centre. Corlette is the ideal place for swimming, dolphin spotting or just simply relaxing with a coffee overlooking the boats at “The Anchorage”.
Salamander Bay
Long stretches of sandy beaches with unsurpassed views are the theme for your accommodation at Salamander Bay. The safe beaches for children, boating and all aquatic pastimes are either right outside or very close to your accommodation. Shopping and restaurants are within close walking distance of most accommodation.
Soldiers Point
Located right on the end of the Tomaree Peninsula, Soldiers Point is an ideal spot for families seeking a beachside holiday without too much hustle and bustle. All holiday accommodation properties at Soldiers Point are either on or very close to the waterfront.
Anna Bay
Located roughly 10 minutes from Nelson Bay, Anna Bay gives access to Birubi Beach as well as the famous Stockton Beach. Numerous shops are located at Anna Bay and properties close to the water are very popular holiday accommodation choices. For those with 4WD vehicles, Stockton Beach is an experience not to be missed (permits are required and available at Anna Bay Newsagency).
Boat Harbour
Virtually surrounded by National Park and ocean, Boat Harbour has become incredibly popular over the last few years. Boat Harbour has a small child-friendly beach which also allows the launching of small boats from the beach as well as access trails down to One Mile Beach and Kingsley Beach. Boat Harbour has tennis courts that can be hired and is just a few minutes’ drive from Anna Bay and about 10 minutes from Nelson Bay.
Taylors Beach
Taylors Beach is a small coastal town located in Port Stephens on the Tomaree Peninsula with a population of around 120 people. The shoreline is dotted with tall pine trees and there is a public jetty which is ideal for fishing, a boat ramp and BBQ and picnic facilities on the foreshore with public amenities including disabled toilets. You will feel like you are miles away from the hustle and bustle in this peaceful waterside town but still, less than ten minute’s drive to Salamander Bay Square Shopping Centre, eight minute’s drive to restaurants and shops at Old Salamander Village or fourteen minutes drive into Nelson Bay Town Centre.
