Fingal Bay to Port Stephens Lighthouse

A near-perfect C-curve of sand that faces southeast, Fingal Bay has its own island connected by Fingal Spit and is well protected from all but a hefty southeast wind. The spit at the north end which links Fingal Island (also known as Shark Island) to the mainland gets decent waves when the sand builds up.

The island’s key feature is an imposing lighthouse surrounded by beautiful views of the ocean.
