One Mile Beach

Overview

Backed by sand dunes and bushland that conceal the streets and buildings beyond, One Mile Beach feels more remote than it actually is. Just ten kilometres from the Port Stephens town centre, One Mile is a popular destination in the warmer months for beachgoers, particularly those staying at nearby holiday parks.

But even when the weather is less than favourable for swimming, surfing and sunbathing, the beach is worth a look in for an easy stroll along the sand. Start at the southern end and walk towards Samurai Point — and be sure to keep an eye out for sea life as you walk. Beyond the point is Samurai Beach, a clothing-optional spot, which also has free campground accessible via 4WD.
