SOLDIERS POINT
Soldiers Point is one of the lesser known jewels in the crown that is Port Stephens. It's close to the popular Nelson Bay, and shares many of the same traits as its neighbours. There is a fine marina, a relaxed lifestyle and calm beach waters. The jetties on either side of the point offer great fishing.
Soldiers Point lies on a peninsula that juts out from the southern shores of Port Stephens. It separates the eastern third of the port from the western part. The town was called Friendship Point before the Corporal's Guard was stationed there (hence its modern day name).
Things to do & see:
