Port Stephens

Port Stephens pairs a vast natural harbour with beaches, dunes and marine wildlife north of Sydney, offering dolphins, seasonal whales and relaxed coastal stays.

A large drowned-river harbour north of Newcastle, Port Stephens is surrounded by national park, long beaches and the striking Stockton sand dunes.

Experiencing Port Stephens

Cruise for resident dolphins, look for migrating whales in season, kayak sheltered water and explore the dunes or coastal walking tracks.

Planning your stay

Port Stephens combines particularly well with the Hunter Valley, creating an easy itinerary of wine country and coast before returning to Sydney.
