I never tire of the view from the top of Mount Tomaree. The walk is challenging, but the view makes it all worthwhile, with views back over Port Stephens; the coastal Beaches of Zenith, Wreck and Box; the Fingal Bay light house and the Islands off Port Stephens.

Not a long climb up a small hill - Australians will insist on calling these things a mountain - which it isn't. However, at the top the view is magnificent with very informative boards pointing out the many views in all directions. Well worth it for seeing the area spread out below you.

It is maybe a km walk and climb up stairs to the lookout. The lookout from memory is 161 ft above sea level and offers an amazing view along the coast line and back inland over Nelson's Bay. Definitely worth the effort.

We accessed Bennetts Beach from the nearby caravan park and the 500 metre sandy track was an easy walk through a lovely Aussie forest. Accessing the beach involved trudging up and down a sand dune which was hard going for this overweight 75 year old. Still the beach itself is wild and relatively deserted with good clear water swimming conditions on the day we were there.

Alicia and G were great with the kids (aged 6-10), however the ratio of instructors per child was far too high to provide appropriate assistance. They are apparently licensed for 1:8, but for kids this age, it probably should be much less for the kids to get something out of it.

We've lived in Tea Gardens for a couple of years and always intended doing this guided paddle. Finally got around to it today and pleased we did. There were seven paddlers in our group (aged 7-60) plus our guide Jessica. Takes about 2 hours and...MoreThanks for taking the time to review us. It was a great tour - always good to show some locals the best of Tea Gardens! We hope to see you again soon. All the best for 2017.

Luxury Yacht Charter. Charters available for 2 to 20 , sail only, luncheons, or oyster and cheee plate sunset sails.
Faultless service from start to finish.
Mark and Brett were fabulous hosts and they are a real credit to the business.
The oysters that were served were the best oysters I have ever eaten.
We're so thankful that we had amazing weather which made perfect sailing.
We will definitely recommend this sailing experience to all our family and friends. Can't wait to do it again

This is one of the loveliest Beaches in the Port Stephens area. At the most, it is 10 minutes drive from the Nelson Bay CBD.
Access to the spit to Fingal Island ONLY AT LOW TIDE is also from this beach.
There are no shops around the beach, just residential houses so bring your own food and drink. There is a public restroom block in one of the parks nearby.
The sand here is soft. It can also be windy here.
This is also a patrolled beach at certain times of the day.
Definitely worth a visit. and don't forget to bring your camera.

Make sure you take the shortest track to the beach which roughly level with the caravan park's reception office. There is another track about 100 metres further east but that is less direct, much longer and the soft sand is a killer. Jimmy's Beach has nice clear water and enjoys good protection from ocean swells.
