Gan Gan Lookout
A 160 m mountaintop lookout you can drive right up to. On one side are the harbour islands; on the other, the Stockton Sand Dunes and One Mile Beach.
Gan Gan Hill rises on the south side of Nelson Bay town. You can drive straight to the summit car park and walk a few dozen metres to the viewing platform. The 360-degree view takes in the harbour, Tomaree Head and Yacaaba Head to the north, and One Mile Beach, Anna Bay and the sprawling Stockton Sand Dunes to the south. It is a great spot for sunsets and panoramic photos. Admission is free and it is open all day. Allow about 15–30 minutes.
