Corlette is located just west of Nelson Bay. It was named after Captain James Corlette skipper of the 63 tonne ship named Lambton, first used to ship timber and wool from Port Stephens in 1816. Today, it’s a quiet harbour front area boasting perfect swimming beaches. Enjoy swimming, dolphin spotting, fishing or relaxing walks or bike rides along excellent shared walkways. These walkways meander amongst picturesque bushland surrounds, guiding you to neighbouring isolated beaches and passing through Bagnall Beach and Dutchies Beaches and east into Nelson Bay. Following the foreshore west will guide you to the Anchorage Marina which features the award winning Merrit’s Restaurant and Bar. Take this hint and enjoy refreshing cold drinks or coffee overlooking the marina and across the Bay before your return.
