Fly Point - Halifax Park Aquatic Reserve

Fly Point - Halifax Park Aquatic Reserve is a protected marine reserve at Fly Point headland adjoining Halifax Park in Nelson Bay, Port Stephens, New South Wales. Established to conserve rocky reef, seagrass and sandy seabed habitats within the Port Stephens-Great Lakes Marine Park, it is renowned as one of New South Wales' premier shore diving and snorkeling sites for its high biodiversity of fish, nudibranchs, sponges and soft corals.

Visitors can expect a sheltered headland with rocky intertidal reef, seagrass beds and sandy seabed accessed via Halifax Park. The park provides grassy picnic areas, walking paths and shoreline entry points for snorkeling and scuba diving. Underwater, clear shallow water reveals diverse temperate and tropical marine life including fish, rays, turtles, sponges and corals. Above water there are views across Port Stephens harbour, rocky foreshore and parkland. The experience is nature-based and tide and weather dependent with no built in-water structures.
