Fingal Bay
Australia / Fingal Bay, New South Wales
Location ID: #15821
Surrounded by Tomaree National Park and across the road from a patrolled surfing beach, Fingal Bay is just minutes from the heart of Nelson Bay and a stones throw away from Shoal Bay. Access via Marine Drive.
A near-perfect C-curve of sand that faces southeast, Fingal Bay Beach has its own island connected by a sand-spit and is well protected from all but a hefty southeast wind. The spit at the north end which links Fingal Island to the mainland gets decent waves when the sand builds up. The island’s key feature is an imposing lighthouse and there are some stylish cafes a short walk from the water’s edge.
