Wreck Beach, Sandy beach in Shoal Bay, Australia
The 200-meter stretch of white sand at Wreck Beach sits between Zenith Beach and Box Beach within Tomaree National Park along the New South Wales coast.
The name of this beach derives from numerous maritime accidents that occurred in these waters during the early navigation periods of Port Stephens.
The beach forms part of Port Stephens Great Lakes Marine Park, where collecting items and fishing activities remain prohibited to preserve the natural environment.
Reaching the beach requires a 1.5-kilometer hike along the Wreck Beach Trail from Verona Road, taking between 30 to 60 minutes through coastal forest.
The Grade 4 walking track leads through an Angophora forest before revealing the secluded cove, where bottlenose dolphins appear during summer months.
