If you're ever in the Anna Bay area, be sure to check out Pasta Di Porto. This cafe is known for their delicious ravioli and coffee. The ravioli is made fresh daily, and the coffee is a special blend that is perfect for relaxed holiday vibes. Be sure to try both when you visit!

It is located behind Anna Bay Bottle Shop and can be accessed from the Anna Bay Tavern carpark.

The ravioli here is some of the best we've ever had. It's made with fresh ingredients and comes in a variety of different flavours. They stock up to 20 gourmet filled ravioli varieties at any one time alongside traditional sauces and freshly cut pastas like lasagnes or cannelloni - all made from scratch using only high-quality local ingredients.

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.
