Port Stephens Surf School - water sports in Port Stephens

Port Stephens Surf School (One Mile)4.8 (65)

Hens and bucks crews get their own private lesson, with matching rash shirts on offer and coaches who keep the mood light.

Choosing a Day Out on the Water

Few parts of Port Stephens offer two kinds of water side by side the way the Tomaree area does. The bay towns of Nelson Bay, Shoal Bay and Corlette sit on sheltered water, while One Mile, Anna Bay and Fingal Bay face the open ocean.

Matching a group to the right stretch of Tomaree water:

One Mile is the surf choice, with Port Stephens Surf School teaching on its sheltered beach and gentle waves.
Nelson Bay and Shoal Bay suit groups who want a flat-water swim near the marina after a morning in the surf.
Fingal Bay and Anna Bay round out the ocean side, good for a beach walk or picnic between sessions.
Dolphins are often seen in the bay, which gives visiting groups another reason to spend time on the water side.
Warm summers bring holiday crowds to every beach, so a weekday session can feel more relaxed.

For a party built around a lesson, lock in the surf school at One Mile first and let the bay towns fill the afternoon.

Ocean beaches give the waves a lesson needs, and One Mile's sandy bottom suits first-timers.
Bay beaches give calm water for younger children and for guests who would rather paddle than surf.
Groups staying in Nelson Bay can make a short trip across for a lesson and be back on the bay by afternoon.
Mixed groups often split the day, with surfers at One Mile and non-surfers relaxing on the bay.

Non-surfers are not left out, with a giant paddleboard, body boards, yoga on the sand and games to fill the day.
Board, wetsuit, rash shirt and sunscreen are supplied, so guests bring swimmers and a towel.
