By The Bay | 5 min Walk to The Beach | 3 Bedroom
We loved our stay in Shoal Bay. The apartment was spacious, clean and perfectly located for our stay. The host gave us some great recommendations. It was a short walk to Zenith beach.

Shoal Bay Holiday Park
Everything - from the delightful and welcoming ladies on reception to our sparkling cabin - was great! The only downer was the almost non-existent wifi.

Shoal Bay Hotel & Travel Guide\n
Vacationing to Port Stephens and not sure where to stay? The neighborhood of Shoal Bay can be found 9 miles (14 kilometers) to the east of downtown Port Stephens.
If you and your fellow adventurers are stopping off at Shoal Bay, the Nelson Bay Breeze Holiday Apartments and Mantra Aqua Resort are all within the same neighborhood as the Fly Point Marine Reserve. However, the Ramada Resort Shoal Bay and Beaches Serviced Apartments are in close proximity to the Nelson Head Lighthouse, if you would rather.
A good example of a lower-cost accommodation option in Shoal Bay is the Shoal Bay Beachclub Apartments.
While Shoal Bay features a selection of hotels, it is also worth considering securing a place to stay in Salamander Bay and Nelson Bay. Browse our Nelson Bay hotels guide and Travelocity's Salamander Bay hotels guide.
Travelocity's user-friendly booking page features a range of Port Stephens options.
