Nelson Bay is a central hub for entertainment and dining in Port Stephens, with weekend markets, a cinema, restaurants and cafes, and a local hotel and bistro with live music. Swim at the beach, hire a runabout boat, visit the lighthouse museum, explore the marina, do a parasail, or link to the many tour operators such as whale watching, sand boarding or quad biking. During summer, the kids will love the giant Splash water park! Book ahead and avoid the summer queues!
