Shoal Bay
Coastal views of Zenith Beach

Classic coastal charm, modern comforts, and everything within a short walk.

Swap the rush for barefoot mornings, crystal-clear water and a walkable coastal village where classic shopfronts meet modern tastes. From the Tomaree Headland sunrise to golden-hour cocktails and an easy stroll back to your stay, Shoal Bay is nostalgic at heart and effortless right now.

Why Shoal Bay

Everything Within Reach

Park once. Wander everywhere. Sunrise swims, coffee with a view, long lunches and golden-hour evenings.

Simple Pleasures, Elevated

Fish & chips on the foreshore, boutique stays, and the kind of service that feels personal.

The Coastal Charmer

A little bit retro, a little bit now. Calm, clean, safe and wonderfully welcoming.

The Perfect Day
