Zenith Beach

Tomaree National Park

Open, check current alerts 

Overview

Zenith Beach is in Tomaree National Park, near Tomaree Head Summit walk. Framed by rugged and rocky headlands, it’s the perfect spot for a swim.

Pretty Zenith Beach lies between Tomaree Headland and Stephens Peak near Shoal Bay and Nelson Bay. To escape to this pristine spot, head to the car park located behind the beach dunes and follow one of 2 paths to the beach.

If you decide to go for a swim, take care because Zenith Beach is unpatrolled.

Part of the Port Stephens – Great Lakes Marine Park, Zenith Beach is also a great place to see birdlife and dolphins. Help us preserve this important coastal sanctuary. Read and obey posted signs, and do not collect marine life or fish off the beach.

Zenith Beach is also a popular wedding venue. To book or make enquiries, please contact the Nelson Bay NPWS office.
