Birubi Beach - Off Leash Dog Friendly

Birubi Beach is the most popular destination in the Port Stephens area, spanning part of the 34 kilometre stretch of Stockton Bright. The coastal stretch is exposed to the wind and waves, but the northern corner is hidden away from the sea breeze, providing a more peaceful place to explore. The area on which Stockton Bright lies belongs to the Worimi people who manage the area in conjunction with National Parks and Wildlife Services. The area itself is quite large, boasting a size of over 4,200 hectares of land. 32 kilometres belong to the ever-shifting sand dunes. Some of these sand dunes reach heights of up to 50 metres which make for a majestic view while you’re sand boarding down the dunes.

Robinson Reserve - Something for everyone

Hugging the shoreline of Birubi Beach, the park has car parking and direct access to the beach, as well as all the amenities you would expect (toilets, showers, drinking fountains, picnic tables and BBQs undercover) It also has a modern skate park, playground and cycle path. There are two large grassy areas that are perfect for a picnic, somewhere to kick a ball around or to sit and watch the kids play.

Shoal Bay Foreshore Walk

Cellar Cafe in Fingal Bay may just be the best kept secret of Port Stephens. This place is a a real little gem, the fact that dogs are allowed to sit out the front AND out the back is amazing!!!

It is located one street back from the beach and is usually super busy with mostly locals who are their all throughout the days to enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner. The meal sizes are really generous (keep an eye on the specials board as they had one of the best burgers we’ve ever had)

Order a takeaway coffee, go for a walk along the dog and baby friendly concrete path that runs adjacent to the beach from the Kiddies Corner all the way to Shoal Bay. There is a fenced in off leash area about half way along.
