Bustling environment with live music most nights. I can highly recommend their pizza and cocktails.
They also host Mermaids Cafe which is a great place for a coffee, smoothie, baked good or wood fire pizza.

Sightseeing
With spectacular views of all of Port Stephens this mountain hike is a must! Despite it being a mountain, the climb up is well paved with stairs and railings to help those who might loose their breath and balance.

One of a set of more secluded beaches. It’s amazing but not patrolled by lifeguards so just be careful.

A cool look into the areas colonial past. The journey is a little treacherous across the Fingal spit to the island so be sure to time your trip or else you’ll get stuck. Imagine Cruises host a walking eco tour which is a great way to see this stunning piece of history...if you are no so good at judging high and low tides

A great family dolphin/whale watching cruise! Some evening cruises are available for a nice twilight dinner. Always best to check in and book ahead of time as they are very popular.
