Nelson Head Heritage Lighthouse and Reserve

The reserve for Nelson Head Lighthouse Cottage and Rescue Station Reserve, nestling within its white picket fence, is situated on a lawn headland that rises some 53 metres (175 feet) just inside the entrance to Port Stephens. In 1875, the headland was chosen as the lighthouse site because it provided the best views of the extensive waters of the Port - and still does!

Lighthouse Cottage is a historic lighthouse keeper's cottage offers visitors beautiful views, local history, photographs, maps and information on marine rescue. It now operates as a museum of local history.

See the working Coastal Patrol radio base, staffed by volunteers, is open to visitors.

Tea Rooms are adjacent to the museum is the tea rooms where visitors can enjoy light refreshments whilst enjoying magnificent views from the covered terrace.

Location: Lighthouse Road, Nelson Head, Nelson Bay, Port Stephens Area, New South Wales, Australia
