A summer holiday favourite, Nelson Bay sparkles with azure waters, wide stretches of sand and marine activities. Think snorkelling, dolphin watching and lighthouse climbing to bulk up your itinerary.

At just 2.5 hours' drive from Sydney, you can make this getaway in a day. But why would you short-change yourself when you can stay for a few?
