Open menuWhy it's worth checking out
The Port Stephens Shell Museum offers a focused look at rare and attractive shells, making it a straightforward stop for visitors interested in marine life, collecting or local attractions. The displays are the main draw, with the collection presented as a compact experience rather than a broad general museum.
Alongside the shell exhibits, the museum has a range of giftware, providing an opportunity to browse for a keepsake after viewing the displays. The venue’s site lists it at 92 Sandy Point Road, Corlette, in the Port Stephens area, and the directory places it within Newcastle’s Nelson Bay region.
It is open daily from 9am to 5pm. Admission is 50 cents, with children admitted free, making it an inexpensive option for families, solo visitors and anyone looking for a brief, unusual attraction around Nelson Bay and Port Stephens.
