Nelson Bay Lighthouse

Great views and a museum for gold coin donation entry. Cafe-restaurant up there as well. WW2 bunker too.

Lovely little spot to catch a great view of the bay. Cute little gift shop and marine lookout. We certainly enjoyed our warm scones with jam and whipped cream - along with our avocado smash and hazelnut meringue cake. Staff was friendly and we enjoyed our visit.

Very excited to see a whale in the bay from here today and meet the A team in the Radio tower. Beautiful garden and great views to enjoy while having a cuppa.

Nice little side-trek. Nice coffee. The day was windy & cool, would be better with spring/fall temps as there is an outdoor seating area. Views were great.

Fantastic scenery, manicured lawns, Cafe, Museum & Coastal Patrol operations combine to make this location a must see, whilst visiting Port Stephens. The views across Shoal Bay to the heads are beautiful.

beautiful place...have the biggest scones I've ever had and they were the best I've ever had

Pretty nice views and plenty of free parking. There is a gift shop and cafe there.

There is no footpath so advised to drive there as the narrow roads barely fit two cars. Bit risky for pedestrians. The light house is not the traditional tall lighthouse, see pics for idea.

Amazing location, Fab views, well kept gardens, excellent info and history in the museum. The cafe ladies were lovely and had a great menu, nice and simple but with plenty of options. The breakfast we had was tasty and well presented, the Cake selection was great, a little pricey but worth every penny. Might even head back up again in the morning.

Great views, good food, historical explanations of what you're seeing and a gift shop with lots of unique items as well as the usual postcards and magnets
