Some of the best things about Australia can be found right along its coastlines. With plenty of fauna and flora, there is a lot of room for people to stretch their legs and get their blood pumping or simply unwind while enjoying a sunset. Of course, the choice is up to you, but you will definitely be spoilt for choice.
Port Stephens is home to some of the most pristine waters in New South Wales. There is no better place for a beach getaway with clear blue oceans and soft white sandy shores. Those who lean towards the more adventurous side of life can surf to their heart's content on the longest beach in New South Wales.
Alternatively, if you simply wish to take the laidback and easy route, opt to watch a majestic sunrise first thing in the morning, get together with friends, and learn the subtle yet straightforward art of paddleboarding or snorkelling.
Something that is considered a highlight of this area in terms of activities to be done on the water is the opportunity to allow people to swim with the dolphins. It should also be noted that this area is also an excellent place for whale watching.
The Stockon sand dunes are a part of the Worimi Conservation Lands. They are considered to be the most giant moving coastal sand dunes in the southern hemisphere. This makes them a veritable playground for those who want to set out for an adventure with their quad bikes. Others will also have the opportunity to simply go sandboarding or opt to try out a camel ride as well as a four-wheel drive tour.
There is a four-wheel lot of sandy activities to be done. So, if you have found any Port Stephens hotel deals or are staying at a place like Oaks Port Stephens Pacific Blue Resort, you will just be a 10-minute car ride away from all the fun that awaits!
If the excessive amounts of sand are not precisely what you envision to be a good time, then the best way forward for you is to direct your attention towards the Tomaree National Park. This land area covers a large portion of the Port Stephens Peninsula and is filled with trails that are perfect for a short hike.
Keep an eye out as you may spot a koala or two!
If you are travelling with kids in tow, there are a few things that you can get up to. One of the most likely things is that your kids may want to get a closer look at baby sharks and learn more about them. For this, head towards Irukandji and Ray Encounters.
If you are in this area, the options are practically endless. You can select from options like mountain biking, surfing, and even horse riding, so be ready to let loose and come prepared with an open mind.
