A special celebration with friends, and with a Italian theme, so the obvious place to go? Yes, Pasta di Porto at Anna Bay, to pick up freshly made citrus, custard-filled, hand made, cannoli. 😍 Simply and utterly superb! (And of course, we just had to grab some award-winning ravioli for our own dinner tomorrow night! 🥰).⁠

Oh yes! 😍 We all know this much-loved spot, especially for our fur-friends, fur-family and our fur-guests! Bagnalls Beach at another special time of the day, and no matter whenever we go, it is a different view everytime! ⁠
Such a special spot for family and dogs at it is completely pet friendly, all day, and off-leash too! 🐕🐾❤️⁠
Check out our bio or website to see more details in our blog about this special spot.⁠

One of two main marinas in the Tomaree Peninsula area, D'albora Marina at Nelson Bay is not only a great spot to dream of that perfect cruiser but it is also the location to take a day trip out to see the dolphins 🐬 and also now...the whales!🐳 Also, the walk along the breakwater provides a wonderful view of the whole bay, in all directions! A great dog-friendly walk along the marina and many lovely pet-friendly spots to stop and eat as well.❤️🐕⁠

The walk along the Fingal Bay headland from Barry Park to Boulder Bay Road is one of our favourite walks🚶‍♀️So many beautiful, picture-postcard vistas along the way, of rocky outcrops and pebbled shores, hidden little beaches and blue-blue seas 🏞️ in shades of teal, aqua and indigo. Perfect autumn time bliss!😍⁠

Know where this is? Well, it was a weekend location for us. Enjoying lunch at Blueys at the Nelson Bay Marina (and yes, pet friendly too! 🐶), and simply watching the world go by - a 'battle' of wits with the oversized chess set - so many laughs seeing a couple of mates having great fun over the game - families enjoying the autumn sun, kids enjoying the sight of fish in the marina waters (oh so close! 🐟 ) and of course, many people taking fur-friends for a walk along the marina promenade area 🐕🐾❤️.⁠

A favourite stroll of ours is along the path next to the Marina, at Nelson Bay, that passes by the ferries to Tea Gardens and Fly Point beach. ⁠
⁠
Sunset is due shortly, the hues of the bay are ever-changing, the calm as the day slowly begins to end is a breath of peace and relaxation for us all ☮️😍⁠

So it is hard to believe that we are now close to the end of April and still enjoying warmth and sun 🌞 (though still some rain now and again!). The water temperature 🏖️ has still been so warm and everyone took advantage of this over the Easter and school holiday periods - so many happy families and friends 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦out and enjoying the beauty of our Port Stephens beaches!⁠
⁠
And also so many to choose from! This is Shoal Bay Beach at the western end; its edges dusted with grey-green grasses. ⁠
⁠
We are just so lucky to be able to enjoy our area with you!⁠

Time for a late afternoon bubbly or two? 🥂⁠
⁠
Our villas all have fully equipped, easy-care kitchens, as well as indoor and outdoor dining areas, so there is always a perfect location to wind down at the end of the day, at any time of year! 😊 Relax, reflect on the fun of the day and enjoy special times with special loved ones including fur-family 🐕💕⁠⁠

Wow!!! 🌄 We have had so many glorious sunsets over the last week across all of Port Stephens!⁠
⁠
And even better are the views at Biribu Beach (at any time of day) but it could not get any better than this stunning sunset, enjoyed even more with much-loved fur-family. 😍🐾💕🐕⁠
⁠
📷Thank you @leeannerusso for sharing! ⁠

Shoal Bay Beach is a favourite for four-legged friends at its eastern end, near Tomaree Headland. Pet friendly (off the lead) between 5pm and 9am means a wonderful time to explore, run, walk, swim and simply enjoy!! 🐾💕🐕⁠
⁠
It is also a perfect location for evening barbecues and picnics and a top-spot to take in the sunsets to the west 🌅. Just magic! 😍⁠

The magic of walking along the backtracks and across the rocks behind Fingal Bay, heading towards Boulder Bay. The jeweled colours of the rockpools are so enticing, so clear and simply so beautiful, contrasted against the earthy red-browns of the surrounding rocks.⁠
⁠
Who can forget the delights of growing up as kids🧒and getting so absorbed and lost in time, exploring the treasures of rockpools - the fish🐟, anemones, starfish, seaweeds and other hidden delights! 😍⁠

Hidden pathways always delight us and many of our guests, to magic views of our favourite beaches. And with so many to choose from in Port Stephens, we are spoilt for choice.⁠
Fingal Bay is ocean facing and has so much to offer - Kiddy's Corner which is perfect for little ones, swells for surfers, wind and kite surfing, lazy evenings or early mornings for beach fishing, swimming and sunbaking, and beach strolls to the Spit that provides even more stunning views of the Bay to the south and north.⁠

Treats for our fur-friends? How about one of the iconic cafes in Nelson Bay that is also pet-friendly - plus has a special Dog Treats menu too!⁠
In House Kitchen cafe is a favourite for locals and tourists, in the middle of Nelson Bay that is also pet-friendly. Enjoy breakfast or lunch, great coffee, Hamptons style decor (and wander through Home Interiors too!)⁠

Oh, what magic views of Fingal Bay beach! Warmth, sun ☀️ blue-blue skies and gentle swells 🌊 all the way out to the Fingal Spit with views beyond. We can't believe we live in this glorious paradise 😍⁠

Fish and chips anyone? It is probably one of the top 10 questions that we are asked. There are so many great places in the Bay though a really close, and top favourite of ours, is the crispy battered flathead fillets with a side of chips at the Cellar Cafe in Fingal Bay. So totally scrummy!! 👌. And yes, pet-friendly as well. 🐾❤️ Thanks Alex and Leah! 🙏⁠

Could life get any better than this? A glorious sunset 🌅, the peace of the bay, a magical beach, and the love of a very special dog. 🐾💕⁠
Simple joys, ever special and precious memories. It is what life is all about.⁠

📷 Thanks so much for sharing Luke and Tamara. And big hugs always for Nala 🐕❤️ @nala.thegroodle⁠
