Exploring the Tomaree Coastal Walk

If you're looking for an unforgettable outdoor adventure along the Port Stephens coastline, the Anna Bay to Boat Harbour section of the Tomaree Coastal Walk, is an absolute must.

This portion of the track is relatively easy to walk and promises a unique blend of captivating landscapes and hidden beaches.

Track Snapshot: Spanning approximately 3.7 kilometers, the Anna Bay to Boat Harbour section offers an engaging 1.5 to 2-hour walk, perfect for those looking to immerse themselves in nature without committing to the full coastal walk. With its moderate difficulty level, this track segment is suitable for families (we took our toddler along with us), solo adventurers, joggers and hikers of various fitness levels. The track is well marked and mostly flat as it carves its way through the bush.

Essential Tips:

Footwear: Wear sturdy enclosed shoes or sneakers with good grip to navigate rocky terrain comfortably.

Hydration: Keep yourself hydrated with water to ensure an enjoyable experience.

Camera and/or Binoculars: Capture the beauty of the coastline with your camera. During whale season, binoculars are a must to help you spot whales passing by.

Sun Protection: Shield yourself from the sun's rays with sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses.

Leave No Trace: Respect the environment by staying on marked tracks and carrying out any waste you bring in.

This slice of paradise showcases the natural wonders of Port Stephens, inviting you to create cherished memories and reconnect with nature. Pack your swimmers and towel for a refreshing swim at one of the hidden beaches before heading back.
