One Mile Beach, Port Stephens

One Mile Beach sits at One Mile, near Nelson Bay in the beautiful Port Stephens area north of Newcastle. A gorgeous, relatively unspoilt beach, it's a much-loved local spot — a stunning stretch of clean white sand and clear water backed by natural bushland, offering a beautiful, more secluded slice of the Port Stephens coast.

The appeal is that combination of a gorgeous, natural beach and a relaxed, unspoilt atmosphere: the beautiful white sand, clear water and bushland surrounds make it a lovely spot for a swim, a surf, a stroll or simply soaking up the stunning coastal scenery, away from the busier beaches. It's a genuine highlight of the Port Stephens coast.

With a 4.7 rating from more than 330 reviews, it's a much-loved beach. It's free and open, but conditions, the surf, swimming safety, parking and facilities vary, so it's worth checking conditions before you go — and taking sun protection and swimming safely (some areas may be unpatrolled) — while enjoying the beautiful sand and clear water at One Mile Beach in Port Stephens.
