Port Stephens Area
Centred on a large natural harbour north of Newcastle, Port Stephens is famous for its resident dolphins, pristine beaches and towering sand dunes. Visitors climb Tomaree Head for panoramic views, snorkel at Fly Point and cruise the bay to spot marine life. The Myall River and Tea Gardens lend a tranquil riverside atmosphere, while sunset over the bay is best enjoyed from a sandy picnic rug. Locals head to the hidden rock pools at Boat Harbour for a quiet swim and love snorkelling with seahorses among the seagrass meadows where few tourists venture.
Port Stephens Council Council has an approximate area of 970 km².
It is within the state electorate of Port Stephens.
