Guidebook for Nelson Bay
Food Scene
Our favourite waterfront restaurant/ bar. It has a nice restaurant upstairs. Or on the lower deck, it is a little bit more casual where there is a bar, food and a great atmosphere. Spend all afternoon sipping on a beverage overlooking a wharf, beach and views right across the bay. There is also a kids playground right next door too!

Birubi Beach
73 James Paterson StThe iconic walk takes about 20minutes at a reasonably steep incline, the path starts off as a brick path and then about half way up there are sets of stairs and a man made dirt path, with lots of resting seats along the way. We highly recommend this walk to see just how stunning the area you are visiting is! Fantastic photo opportunities as well.
