Shoal Bay Food & Wine Festival
Saturday 14th March 2026
Each March, Shoal Bay hosts its signature event, the Shoal Bay Food & Wine Festival, a celebration of coastal flavour, good company and golden-hour magic - think local eats by the water, boutique wines, local produce and music that carries into the night

Restoring the Fingal Bay Foreshore
Invasive and non-native vegetation (bitou and lantana) was cleared from the banked area of the Fingal Bay beach foreshore in preparation for future bush regeneration and regenerative stabilisation planting. Initial re-planting of native lomandra, pigface and wattle was completed in November 2025.
This project was supported by Port Stephens Council through the Environmental Project Fund 2024.
The purpose of the Fingal Bay Community Association (FBCA) is to represent, promote and develop Fingal Bay for all the local community – a significant aim is to enhance the local environment and the quality of public spaces.
MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR
