Fame Cove
✨ Hidden gem
Fame Cove sits on the northern shore of Port Stephens, named after the brig 'Fame' that once sheltered here during supply runs to early Australian settlements. Drop anchor and you'll find yourself in a historically rich, quietly wild spot surrounded by bushland that's home to koalas, spotted quolls, and wallabies. It's a genuinely unspoiled anchorage that's been at the centre of ongoing conservation battles to keep it that way.
