Natural Wonders

Port Stephens features diverse coastal formations within Tomaree National Park and the Worimi Conservation Lands. The landscape is defined by the 161-meter volcanic peak of Mount Tomaree and the Southern Hemisphere's largest moving sand dunes at Stockton Beach. These natural sites include tidal sandbars like Fingal Spit, historic World War II coastal defense ruins, and protected marine sanctuary zones along secluded white-sand beaches like Zenith and Box Beach.
