Discover the Wild Beauty of the Tomaree Coastal Trail

If you’re drawn to breathtaking summits, golden beaches, and sweeping ocean views, a new walking tour along the Tomaree Coastal Trail promises an unforgettable escape.

Over three days, this pack-free, guided journey invites you to slow down and connect with a coastline shaped by ancient forces and living culture, just a few hours north of Sydney in the heart of the NSW Hunter Region.

The experience begins with a heartfelt Welcome to Country from the Worimi People, Traditional Custodians of the land. Their deep knowledge and cultural stories infuse the journey with meaning, grounding each step in a sense of place and connection. From there, the trail winds through the heart of Tomaree National Park, revealing a dramatic landscape of towering sea cliffs, vibrant bushland, and quiet, secluded beaches.

 

Each day offers new highlights. Climb to the summit of Tomaree Head, where breathtaking panoramic views stretch across Port Stephens and out to the horizon. In the right season, you may even spot humpback whales as they migrate along the coast.

Descend to explore pristine coves like Zenith Beach and Fingal Bay, where native flora flourishes and the call of seabirds echoes on the breeze. And if the weather allows, there’s every chance for a refreshing swim — so don’t forget your bathers.

As the day winds down, you’ll return to the luxurious Anchorage Hotel & Spa, nestled by the water’s edge. With its peaceful marina views, fresh sea air, and elegant coastal charm, it’s the perfect place to unwind, indulge, and reflect on the day’s discoveries. Fine food, warm hospitality, and comfortable surrounds await—providing a beautiful contrast to the wildness of the trail.

This is more than a walk—it’s an experience of connection, discovery and relaxation, set against one of Australia’s most spectacular coastal backdrops.
