Tomaree Head Summit Walk
Take the invigorating short hike to the summit of Tomaree Head, 161 metres above the entrance to Port Stephens. Along the track, enjoy unmatched views of Port Stephens and its coastline. From the top, you can see as far as Cabbage Tree and Boondelbah islands, the only nesting sites for the endangered Gould's petrel. At the summit, the north platform offers panoramic views of Yacaaba Head, Cabbage Tree, Boondelbah, and Broughton Islands. The south platform provides stunning vistas of Zenith, Wreck, and Box Beaches, Fingal Island, and Point Stephens Lighthouse. Don’t miss the historic World War II gun emplacements, and bring binoculars — you might spot some dolphins. There’s a picnic table at the lookout, perfect for a lunch break while taking in the view. On your way back, try the Fort Tomaree walk.
