The Bay is easy to get around and caters to all age demographics The shopping has some little gems, but for a serious shopper Newcastle is a short drive away Lots of calm beach’s for the not so confident in the surf or you are within a 15 minute drive to a surf beach.JulieAustralia - 6.0Scored 6.0
To comercial .
To comercial . Local council likes to jam parking meters everywhere you go so they can milk money out you, this totally discourages stopping anywhere to visit local shops. The boat ramps even had metered parking , people would like to have an unlimited day out in their boat and not be concerned about how much it will cost. Disgusting greed.AAnonymousAustralia - 10Scored 10
What a darling place to visit with friends!
What a darling place to visit with friends! If you're looking for a quiet girls weekend/getaway there are multitudes of great restaurants and cafes, lots of homeware shopping and boutiques, and lots of massage and nail salons. So awesome, would go again in a heartbeat.RG PackAustralia - 10Scored 10

The whole area is beautiful, with many beautiful beaches, waterways and National Parks. Whether you want to swim, bushwalk, bird watch, get into photography, go boating, dive, explore, whale or dolphin watch, visit nearby islands or just simply relax, Nelson Bay/ Port Stephens Area is awesome. It has Great places to dine, my favourites Sirenas Seaside at d'Albora Marina, The Deck at Soldiers Point and Bubs Seafood also at the marina. My last holiday there, I really needed to relax. I had 9 days of perfect weather, ocean swimming, beach and bush walking everyday. Getting pampered at Sirene Spa Shoal Bay everyday, either with massages or sauna and spa.

Great selection of restaurants, cafes & bars within easy walking distance, particularly enjoyed Mavericks for the food, location overlooking the Marina and friendly staff. Large Woolworths to get all of your food for self-catering. Great local bus service to see the wider area plus ferry to Tea gardens and Dolphin cruises - what is not to like! The staff at the Tourist Information office were very helpful.GeorgeUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

Nelson Bay is one of my favourite spots in the Australian coast so far, it is relaxing with beautiful beaches like One Mile Beach and Birubi Beach. There is good night life if you go to Shoal Bay and also good restaurants.JúliaSpain

- 8.0Scored 8.0Very goodRated very good· 2 reviewsWhat a breathtaking view! We so enjoyed waking up to the sunrise and eating breakfast overlooking the bay, even in the rain, and falling asleep to the sound of waves. Being able to walk to the Little Beach Boathouse “Below Deck” and the Shoal Bay Country Club made the location perfect. Also being able to fit our family of 3 generations was fantastic. Kids room could (in theory) sleep 5 which is quite incredible! The apartment itself is older but it had everything we needed. We enjoyed ourselves and can recommend to others :)
AnjaAustralia - 9.9Scored 9.9ExceptionalRated exceptional· 12 reviewsWe recently stayed at "Hide Away at Nelson Bay" and had a fantastic time. The house is well-equipped, spacious and clean, and only a short drive from the beach and Tomaree Mountain. The cozy beds made for a comfortable night's sleep and we felt right at home during our stay. The hosts were friendly and although we haven't had the opportunity to interact much, they were always available to provide us with any information we needed and the instruction for the house were very clear and easy. Great place!
YosriAustralia - From US$131.53 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 1,924 reviewsThe Resort is an excellent place to stay. It is next door to the Nelson Bay Golf Club and a short stroll to the Nelson Bay Marina and other sensational features in and near Nelson Bay (i.e. Inner Lighthouse cafe, Fingal Bay, etc) The rooms are always well maintained, with excellent facilities. The resort looks down across Nelson Bay township out to the bay which is spectacular all the time.MikeAustralia
