A bayside peninsula

Soldiers Point sits on the southern shores of Port Stephens, with Salamander Bay nearby. The official Soldiers Point overview (opens in a new tab) is a helpful orientation to the peninsula and its waterways.

Use the foreshore well

At Salamander Bay, George Reserve (opens in a new tab) has beach access and practical public facilities. Check signs on arrival and take care around the water.

Check current access

Pedestrian works are underway near Soldiers Point Road in Salamander Bay. The council project update (opens in a new tab) notes possible detours, nightwork and road closures; follow traffic control and current advice.

Make a flexible bay day

Conditions and access can change around the foreshore. Confirm what is open, keep an eye on weather and water conditions, and choose activities that match your experience.
