Port Stephens Attractions

Port Stephens NSW is one of the few Australian coastal towns that have remained relatively unspoilt with national parks making up most of it.

Some of the Port Stephens attractions include the harsh rocky outcrops and lush native bushland surrounding the breathtaking beaches and crystal clear waterways.

You will marvel at the gigantic 40 million year old volcanic peaks that rise over 200 metres above sea level and the Port Stephens estuary which was formed over 70 000 years ago when the sea levels rose 60 metres. The underwater valley is a popular scuba diving spot where an array of interesting sea creatures can be spotted.

Twice a day, you will see a number of curious bottle-nosed dolphins greet the passing boats, whilst tourists marvel at the friendly playful creatures.

Why not hire a boat and enjoy a spot of Port Stephens' fishing or take the family on a 4wd tour.

Become one with nature and explore the local national parks and beaches on a Port Stephens' horse riding adventure, or simply go for leisurely walks along the many trails and discover a diverse array of flora and fauna, including koalas and a wide variety of bird species.

You will love Port Stephens for the many things to see and do for all the family. Stay at one of the many holiday parks at Port Stephens and take advantage of the plenty of activities on offer for the kids while you relax in peaceful surrounds.
