Fingal beach is a glorious white sand beach tucked under Fingal Head. This family-friendly, patrolled surf beach is perfect to catch a wave, catch a fish, or just catch a sunrise on your early morning walk or for a relaxing Sunday afternoon drink overlooking the beach.

Fingal spit is a sand spit that links the mainland to Fingal Island. The island is still accessible by boat with a boat ramp available at the southern end of the beach or it is well worth taking a cruise which includes a fully guided nature walk visiting an Aboriginal fish trap lagoon, as well as Point Stephens Lighthouse and ruined caretakers cottage.

At the end of the beach you will find Barry Park hosting a whale watching platform to sit back and relax as they pass through from May to November. For those keen to really explore, the start of the beautiful National Parks coastal walk begins at Barry Park and flows all the way through to Anna Bay, boasting coastal views, wildlife and flora. It's not hard to see why Fingal beach is one of the most photographed locations in Port Stephens.
