Go Swimming or SUP'ing in the clear blue water, with shallow depths that are easy to paddle in and safe for kids to have a splash. If you are going for a swim, the best time to visit is at low tide when there is more sand at the back of the beach - however even at high tide (as in the photo above), there is still a stretch of white sand at the Nelson Bay end of the beach. If you want to get on top of the water, you can also hire a SUP (Stand Up Paddle board) from Port Stephens Surf School for approximately $30 an hour and cruise around the flat waters and take in the views.

Zenith Beach is flanked by the towering peaks of Tomaree Mountain and Stephens Peak which give it an incredibly dramatic feel. It’s 400m long and has some waves but it’s partially sheltered by the headlands making it a good spot for a dip if you don’t go too far out.

Birubi Beach needs no introduction, it’s famous for its incredible sand dunes, some of which are 40m high! The beach itself is huge and despite the fact you’ll share it at times with 4WDs and camels it’s still very easy to find a spot that feels like you have the whole thing to yourself.
