Description

Our Family loves beaches, if we had to choose between caching and going to the beach then the beach would come first.

Nelson Bay and the surrounding area has quite a few beaches so I thought I would introduce all the geocachers to them.

I have already placed quite a few GC caches in the area so I thought I would add a few virtual GCA caches. But I thought I would make them beaches, this way you can go caching in the morning and them take the family to the beach in the afternoon.

If I do all the beaches in the area you can then experience them all and find your families favourite. We have been here a year now and have found some great sneaky beaches only the locals know about. I hope you enjoy exploring them all.

Little Beach is a great place our family goes to buy an ice cream and watch the Jet Ski's fly pass and get booked by the water authorities. My little Geo-daughter also likes the swings up the other end of the beach. Nice swimming as well.

Enjoy my two favourite past times combined into one.

To log this find just take a beautiful photo of the beach in question. No need to get a sign or distinguishing mark, I know them all. Just try and be creative with your shot. Mix it up, Sunset, Sunrise, Low tide, High Tide, Sand shot, Sky shot, Under water, high shot, low shot, etc etc etc

Happy Caching and photographing.

This was another GCA cache that I'd missed last year but up here for a few days of work, I figured that I'd rectify that issue. Wink Once at GZ, I was soon taking the shot at 16:50 and we were off to the lighthouse. Very Happy

Thanks once again MADSTARS.

We are spending a lovely Autumns day in Nelson Bay for Mothers Day.

We didn't stop at this one for long as it was quite windy and the boats were being launched nearby. Just a quick detour on the way up to the lighthouse.

Nice walk along the foreshore enjoying the scenery and picking up a few caches along the way.

Caching and loitering. Took the photo with the sign as it would have looked very suspicious otherwise.

Not a bad beach, in fact all the ones we have visited have been pretty good. I think the northern NSW beaches give the Queensland ones a run for their money any day.
Tried to make this one look like Mr Beetle was patting the seagull but the final result wasn't quite what I hoped for.
Thanks.
 
Wow so many people here on a work day. So very hot today. TFTC

Today we travelled from Caringbah to Nelson Bay for a quick holiday. For some reason HanorahTLG managed to find the most containers...

Yups, it was dark already.

Another beach of Port Stephens I have been to a few times over the years, but had to head back on Sunday 19/7 for another photo. Not the most brilliant of days.
Thanks Madstars

Found on our trip to Port Stephens. While driving past this beach, we quickly got out of the car to take this photo. So many people on this beach, but it was such a lovely place to visit. TFTC MADSTARS! Clan Cerberus

Had a really nice dinner in town and then wondered out to Little Beach, what a beautiful spot. There were electrical storms off to the west, but try as I might I couldn't capture a lightning strike on the camera. I did get this one of storm louds though! Thanks for bringing me back to this heavenly location, MADSTARS.
Cheers

Found with DarzeeDi and ACTchil after visiting the nearby light house. The beaches here are beautiful and I am hoping to check many of them out over the weekend. TFTC Smile

Today we used MadStars' virtual caches as an itinerary to visit many wonderful places and objects in the Nelson Bay, Shoal Bay and Port Stephens areas. Following overnight rain, the threat of further rain was still present when we arrived at Little Beach about 8am this morning. One photo has been added to the Gallery. Thanks MadStars for taking us to many great places in the area.

438. I wanted to have a photo of Mr Winglen on his knees here but he declined - or did I forget to tell him? Warm enough for people to be in the water as well....or not.

TFTC and the speedos.

One of my favourite old haunts when the kids were young, and often had coffee up the hill at the inner light. Thanks MADSTARS.

Miss Shifter wanted a swim, and this beach looked good. Took a photo as the clouds were rolling in for the evening.

As it happened I was at this beach at sunset last night taking some pics, but didn't really include the beach so took another photo today. Will include the sunset ones though as they are nice. A bunch of Nomad bikies here this afternoon.

Beautiful little beach. Stopped here with my daughter on the way to 'Mr Pelican' (GC cache) round the corner. There was a flock of pelicans on the shore, which I managed to capture on my camera.

Not many muggles here today; I guess it would be different during the holidays or on a weekend. Thanks MADSTARS

Found this cache which at the Port Stephens/Newcastle Invasion organised by Big Matt and Shell. It took me a little while to log it.
