A beautiful stunning island with unspoilt beaches. Only accessible during low tide via Shark Beach.
The largest beach in NSW has 72 km² of sand dunes, this is where some scenes for Mad Max and parts of that ubiquitous Aussie anthem 'Down Under' were filmed. Most easily visited on a guided tour (see #Do) but some parts are open to 4x4s, and you can stroll around the visitor center at Birubi Beach for free.
Named after the town One Mile rather than the other way around, is a stunning place to visit whether you surf or not. Atmospheric views down the peninsular and dramatic swells abound here. There's a car park just off the beach and a small store that sells refreshments.
A 2.2-km return walk will lead you to the summit of Mt Tomaree, where you will find fantastic views of Mt Yacaaba, as well as Cabbage Tree, Fingal, Boondelbah and Broughton Islands, and the Point Stephens Lighthouse.
This lookout offers fantastic views of the Nelson Bay region and its surrounds.
Located on Fingal Island, this lighthouse is accessible from Fingal Bay by walking across Fingal Spit, however a much safer option is to go by boat/kayak.
Specialises in dolphin and whale watching. The whale watching cruise runs at 10AM and 1:30PM for 2.5 hours. And if you don't get to see whales, they offer a second whale-watching trip for free within the following 6 months.
