Nelson bay is the ideal place to kick back and relax surrounded by nature both bush and sea. Situated about 1 1/2 hrs North of Sydney positioned in the Heart of Port Stephens it is easy to get to and an easy drive.
When in Nelsons Bay or on the headlands of Anna Bay you can always find an abundance of sea life including dolphins, fairy penguins, sea turtles and whales in the right season going right by the door. Many day trips leave the Nelson Bay marina for whale and dolphin watching fishing and scuba diving.
There are some great spots to dive in the Port Stephens area. There are many dive shops catering for the locals and visitors. Just on the tip of The Bay you'll find fly point, a favourite for scuba divers and snorkellers, while I was there I seen a sea turtle and two dolphins put there heads up amazing. This was right on dusk and the sunset was breathtaking over the hills. Another great place for diving is the looking glass which is a cavern along the islands centre filled with amazing marine life.
Looking out over the water between July and November you will more than likely spot a progression of whales going by. When you come to Nelson bay remember to go on a whale or dolphin spotting tour. The best operator I have found is The Imagine. Frank is really good and has that connection if you know what I mean.
Nelson Bay has a multitude of Dolphins living in the Bay. On any cruise around the bay you are sure to see some. If you go out to Anna Bay about ten minutes drive from Nelsons Bay, around sunset you may be lucky and see the dolphins feeding in their natural habitat. amazing thing to witness.
There are many things to see in the area like the San dunes at Birubi beach just off Anna Bay. Amazing site to walk on andd experience the desert without actually being in one. Many tours operators can take you on the ride of a lifetime through the dunes. There is also camel and horse rides.
The Port Stephens area has an abundance in wild life also with koalas, wallabies and kangaroos as a beginning.
