Tomaree Head Summit Walk: A Hot Hike at Port Stephens

Tomaree Head Summit Walk is not long, but it is certainly steep. The official difficulty rating is medium. The walk is only 1km in length, but takes about 30 minutes due to the steep climb. The summit is 161 metres high.

The views, the views! Hiking up the Mount Tomaree Summit Walk rewards your efforts. This is the ocean view north to Hawks Nest and Broughton Island

Start at the Zenith Beach car park and follow the well-signed track.  Afterwards enjoy a cooling dip at Zenith Beach, or drive down to Shoal Bay as we did.

The girls were complaining and puffing and panting right from the start. Who knows why cos they are as fit as fleas There are lots of steps as well as the paths This is the view south across Zenith Beach, Wreck Beach, Box Beach and to Fingal Spit. Yes girls, it is certainly easier on the way down
