A Place to Unwind
From our café you can see Boondelbah Island and the clear waters of Nelson Bay and Shoal Bay. Nestled between the lighthouse and maritime museum, Inner Light Tea Rooms is a wonderful place to sit, eat and then explore. After your refreshments, why not head over to the maritime museum in the old lighthouse keeper’s cottage nearby? If you’re looking for a souvenir to remember the trip, there’s also a gift shop next to the museum.
