Port Stephens Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels

About Port Stephens

The area is very popular for its breathtaking coastal scenery, protected waters at the bay, good fishing, and the opportunity to watch whales during the migration season and the resident dolphins. Oddly, there is no port at Port Stephens, nor any town of that name: the name applies to both the entire peninsula and the bay north of it (Port Stephens Bay). The largest settlements are🌍Nelson Bayand🌍Shoal Bay, both near the northeast tip.
