The Tomaree National Park is a national park in the east of the Australian state of New South Wales , about 150 kilometers northeast of Sydney and 50 kilometers northeast of Newcastle , in the Local Government Area Port Stephens .

The park is on the coast of the Tasman Sea between Fishermans Bay in the south and Shoal Bay in the north. Two major attractions are Point Stephens Light , a lighthouse built in 1862, and the WWII gun post at Tomaree Head , built in 1941.

The park around Anna Bay , Fingal Bay , Shoal Bay and Nelson Bay consists of rocky stretches of coast, sandy beaches and heathland behind. Only here can the acidic volcanic rock rhyodacite be found.
