The Area: Port Stephens

Though it is home to famous sights like Australia’s largest shipwreck and the expansive sand dunes from the Mad Max movie, Port Stephens is still one of New South Wales’ best-kept secrets. The small coastal region boasts photo-worthy scenery thanks to its sandy landscape and pristine beaches, which offer many ideal vantage points for spotting migrating humpback whales during the winter and spring months. A family-friendly destination like no other, the Port Stephens region is awash with cute cafés, water and land-based activities and a dose of fresh seaside air.

Hit up the region’s famous sand dunes for hours of fun, whether it’s a hike, 4WD adventure or simply sliding down the sandy slopes. Then hit the beach, river or lake for myriad water sports or a simple splash around. Find a nearby golf course for an enjoyable afternoon of swinging and putting, or make the one-hour trip to the Hunter Valley for world-renowned wineries and plentiful fine dining options.
