If you were a kid of the 90s, you probably have an innate curiosity with exploring lighthouses fuelled by many afternoons of watching Round the Twist. And on Fingal Island, you can do just that. First things first: it’s not actually an island, but rather an irregularly shaped headland at the northeastern end of Fingal Bay. It’s connected to the mainland via a sand spit but, due to hazardous conditions, it’s impassable on foot. But you can reach the landmass via boat. To make the most of your trip, we recommend joining one of Imagine Cruises’ eco-tours. The tour, which takes approximately three hours, includes a guided walk to some of the island’s best spots, including the legendary Port Stephens Lighthouse. Here, you’ll get to climb the spiral staircase of the sandstone structure, take a peek at the keepers’ quarters, learn stories of its long history and perhaps spy a whale or two from the balcony in the winter months. The tour also includes visits to Government Cove, Shark Bay and a secluded Aboriginal fish trap lagoon — the latter two are great swimming and snorkelling sites during warmer weather, too.

Walking over to Fingal Island is definitely and adventure. From crossing the Fingal Spit to exploring the island's lighthouse, there is so much beauty to see and admire. You may even spot a whale if you are here during migration season.

Pack a picnic, choose low tide and check if safe to cross the spit. Walk over to the island and the trail will take you to the end for vast views over the ocean and coastline. You will have enviably close access to the whales during their migration north or south! The operational lighthouse and derelict ruins make for interesting inspection.
