Soldiers Point is a suburb of the Port Stephens local government area in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia.[2] Located on the southern shores of Port Stephens it is almost entirely surrounded by the port and is a popular location for fishing and boating.[3][4] While primarily residential, like other suburbs around Port Stephens, it is a popular tourist destination, especially in summer months. It also has numerous community events and family fun days for locals and tourists alike.[5]

Soldiers Point was originally the site of a garrison of soldiers that was established in 1820 to hunt down escaped convicts.[6]

In July 2016, the New South Wales government declared 5.9 ha (14.6 acres) of the suburb as an Aboriginal place, recognising that Soldiers Point was a special place for cultural, spiritual and historic reasons to the Worimi people.[7]
