Holiday houses & accommodation in Blueys Beach

Blueys Beach, 280km north of Sydney and 140km north of Newcastle, makes for a relaxing base for exploring the Myall Lakes. Renting a Blueys Beach holiday house is the perfect way to explore these internationally recognised wetlands, along with the beaches of the Central Coast, at a leisurely pace.

Visit the Great Lakes Historical & Maritime Museum

The Great Lakes Museum at Tuncurry contains a wealth of information on the region's history and first settlers. Browse its thousands of black-and-white photos, whale bones, aboriginal paintings, and model ships. There's even a working windmill, and a heap of hand-driven machinery, including chaff cutters, cream separators, and presses, all showing how life was more than 150 years ago.

Try some sandboarding in Myall Lakes National Park

South of Blueys Beach, running along the coast of Myall Lakes National Park to Port Stephens, are some of the world's largest coastal dunes. The dunes are perfect for sandboarding and tobogganing with the kids. After having fun on the sand, head to Birubi Beach on Anna Bay for an unforgettable camel ride at sunset, or take a quad bike for a spin on the sands. Learn about the area's culture at sites such as Dark Point Aboriginal Place, sacred to the local Worimi people.

Explore the Myall Lakes

The Myall Lakes, three freshwater lakes teeming with wildlife, are popular destinations for locals. Go kayaking, fishing, and canoeing, and spot bottlenose dolphins, black swans and mutton birds. Explore Broughton Island to see its fairy penguins, and head to the Sugarloaf Point Light, one of the Central Coast's most picturesque lighthouses. Bask on any of the nearby beaches, go swimming at Boat Beach, Shelly Beach, and eponymous Blueys Beach, or take a ferry from Myall Lakes for a scenic sunset cruise around Port Stephens.
