LOCATION

Corlette Beach is the best sandy beach in Port Stephens. And it is only 2 1/2 kilometres from Nelson Bay but still far enough away from the commerce and holiday crowds to relax and unwind.

Corlette Point Road is a quiet No-Through road that runs for 200 metres behind the beach down to Corlette Headland Reserve and Peppers Anchorage Resort & Marina. It is generally considered to be the most desirable address in Port Stephens.

It takes about 1-minute to walk from The Anchor Light to Corlette Beach, 3-minutes to Peppers and about 45-minutes to walk along The Waterfront Path to Nelson Bay.

Corlette Beach is a 35-minute drive from Newcastle Airport and a 2 1/2 hour drive north of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
