Coal Shaft Bay
Coal Shaft Bay sits on the western side of Broughton Island off Port Stephens, where you can drop anchor and swim in clean, clear water off a lovely sandy beach. Keep an eye out for rays gliding through the shallows — they're a regular sight here. If you fancy stretching your legs, the Coal Shaft Track is a short, easy walk worth doing while you're here.
