Shoal Bay is a sheltered coastal bay at the northern edge of Port Stephens, known for its calm, clear waters and gently curving sandy beach. Framed by surrounding headlands, including Tomaree Head, the bay is protected from strong ocean swells, making it popular for swimming and boating. From here, the view across the water is beautiful, inviting you to slow down and take in the scenery.
