See Beautiful Port Stephens by Bike
The town of Nelson Bay lies at the heart of Port Stephens, and is ideally located to explore the area by bike. Bay Bike Hire offers easy to ride bikes that will easily transport you around the area and up and around the gentle hills along the bay. We also offer cruiser bikes, with a single gear and ideal for a relaxing summer cruise past the waterfront to one of the many cafes and bars.
