Salamander Bay is a suburb of the Port Stephens Local Government Area in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia.[2] Named after the adjacent shallow bay, itself named after the Salamander, a convict ship from the Third Fleet, which was the first European vessel to enter Port Stephens (1791), it is a mainly residential suburb with a large shopping centre.[7][8] It is home to Tomaree High School, a TAFE facility and St Phillips Christian College (Port Stephens Campus).
