Shoal Bay Beach

Last updated October 2026

Shoal Bay Beach and Foreshore Reserve is opposite Shoal Bay village. Port Stephens Council says its gentle aquamarine waters, white sands and grassed area make it a family friendly beach for picnics and relaxing. Council lists picnic seating, shelters and BBQs, public amenities, beach access, a public jetty and a boat ramp (both heavily used) and dinghy storage. The beach is not one of the council's lifeguard-patrolled beaches.
