After arriving and checking into your hotel, you’ll probably want to explore your surroundings. If you can’t wait to check out the beaches, head to Shoal Bay Beach or Dutchmans Beach for a relaxing day by the water. Experience the area’s whale watching and marina, and make time for local attractions such as West Nelson Bay and d’Albora Marinas Nelson Bay. For even more to see and do, pay a visit to Nelson Head Lighthouse or Nelson Bay Golf Club.
