Fingal Surf and Sand is a modern, 2-storey duplex located between bushland and beach. It is an idyllic place to relax and spend quality time with family and friends, so put away the car keys and enjoy a true Australian beach holiday.
Location
This property is in a quiet street adjacent to the bushland setting of Barry Park which offers picturesque bush walks, a viewing platform to observe migrating whales (May-November), a large picnic area and crystal clear rock pools on the ledges below, which are accessed by steps.
The duplex is a short 250m stroll to Fingal Beach, a beautiful strip of coastline with a patrolled surf beach and a quiet, sandy cove in the southern corner favoured by families with young children. The beach has a surf school and stand up paddle board hire, and you can walk the entire stretch of sand up to the famous Fingal Spit. The leafy beachfront reserve is home to a great kids playground, the surf club, a restaurant, cafe and a popular, scenic walking or bike path. Bring your running shoes and give Fingal Bay parkrun a try on a Saturday morning, or cycle to the end of the path and onto Shoal Bay (4km), where you can climb Tomaree Mountain for magnificent views of the coastline, or continue into Nelson Bay (6km).
You’re also just 400m from the local, well-stocked corner store (complete with delicatessen), cafe, restaurant, bottle shop and takeaway. Nearby, Fingal Bay Tennis club (1km) has courts for hire and the licensed Fingal Bay Sports Club (1.7km) offers lawn bowls.

About the area
Fingal Bay, located in the picturesque Port Stephens region of New South Wales, Australia, is a coastal haven that offers a serene escape with its stunning natural beauty and laid-back atmosphere. This charming destination is perfect for travelers seeking a blend of relaxation, adventure, and wildlife encounters.
The bay's crowning glory is its sweeping crescent-shaped beach, embraced by the Fingal Spit to the east and a lush national park to the west. The beach's fine white sand and crystal-clear waters make it an idyllic spot for swimming, sunbathing, and beachcombing. The gentle waves are suitable for families, while the spit, which can be crossed at low tide to reach Fingal Island, adds a sense of adventure to the visit.
Fingal Bay is also a prime location for spotting humpback whales during their annual migration between May and November. Visitors can join whale-watching tours to witness these majestic creatures up close or simply keep an eye out from the shore or the headlands for a chance to see them breaching in the distance.
For those who love to explore the great outdoors, the surrounding Tomaree National Park offers a network of walking trails that lead through coastal bushland and offer panoramic views of the bay and beyond. The Tomaree Head Summit Walk is a popular choice, rewarding hikers with breathtaking vistas from the top.
Water sports enthusiasts will find plenty to do in Fingal Bay, with opportunities for surfing, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding. The bay's sheltered waters are also ideal for snorkeling, where you can discover a diverse marine ecosystem just beneath the surface.
The small, friendly community of Fingal Bay ensures a warm welcome for visitors, with local cafes and eateries providing fresh seafood and other culinary delights. Accommodation options range from cozy holiday rentals to family-friendly resorts, catering to various tastes and budgets.
Fingal Bay's combination of natural beauty, wildlife experiences, outdoor activities, and community spirit makes it a worthwhile destination for travelers looking to unwind and immerse themselves in the tranquil coastal lifestyle of Australia's east coast. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat or an active holiday, Fingal Bay promises a memorable stay.
